Ahhhh.... I neglected the front axle.. here's the corrected spreadsheet:
40% of cargo & passengers 232
60% of cargo and passengers 348
Tare Front Axle 3740+232=3972 :Adjusted Front Axle
Tare Rear Axle 2860+348=3208 :Adjusted Rear Axle
Adjusted Tare Front Axle: 3972
Adjusted Tare Rear Axle: 3208
Total Adjusted Tare Truck: 3972 + 3208=7180
Front Axle without WDH 3540
Rear Axle Without WDH 4960
Total truck without WDH 4960+3540=8500
Approximate TW: 8500-7180=1320 :Approximate TW
Gross Combined Weight 16220
Total Adjusted Tare Truck: 7180
Trailer weight 16220-7180=9040
TW Percentage 1320/9040=14.6%
Thanks guys for checking the math!
I suddenly feel much better. Now, next time I'm near the scales, I'll do a third weigh, with out the trailer at all, and the hitch and bars in the truck.
