There is a Flying J in Graham (I-85/I-40 Exit 150) that has scales/area large enough to drive on scales with just one side of rig.
First get a full weigh...front axle on front platform/rear axle on rear platform
Then drive onto platforms with just one side of RV tires on each platform.
Subtract that weigh numbers from first total and you will have opposite side weights.
About 1 hr drive from Raleigh......IF the scales closer to Raleigh don't have physical room/or rails on platforms that would not allow driving on with only one side of tires.axles
CAT Scales closer to Raleigh....call and check
You don't even need to do that at the truck scales
They are set up to weigh front axle --Drive axles --and trailer!!
so you park it where you weigh what you want to weigh --say the front axle on one set of scales the rear axle on another set of scales --and that gives you --they print out for you front axle weight ,rear axle weight ,total weight--- just that simple
professional drivers do it all the time
