GCWR compliance - educate me please
In order to be compliant with your GCWR do you just have to scale less than the GCWR or as I think I read somewhere GCWR = sum of truck GVWR and trailer GVWR and it doesn't matter how much you scale? ...

Well, kind of rjstractor. I believe the registration weight would be the "actual" combined weight of your vehicles, not their combined GVWR.
For example: my registration weight is 23,000 lbs., which is a little more than I actually weigh. If I were stopped and weighed I would be legal. However if I went by my GVWR, then the truck would be 10,000 lbs. and the trailer would be 18,000 lbs., meaning I would need to be licensed to 28,000 lbs. But that isn't the way it works in Missouri. They register by actual weight, not theoretical weight.
