The problem I have with most people who weigh their trucks is that they mix "apple & oranges". The truck has a GVWR of 10,000#. Then they use the GAWR for the other weights rather than the GWR for each axle. The two GAWRs will NEVER equal the GVWR because they will be higher. They are higher for a reason and you should TRY to stay within the GVWR and not the GAWR. But that is for another thread.

If this is addressed to my post above, please start the thread so I can understand what you are trying to tell me. I'm not seeing where I did what you are saying.
REWahoo, from what I see, you are missing two things. 1. The truck GCWR and 2. Hitch GTWR. You have incomplete info.
Consider using the Truck and Trailer Weight Report shown below.
