Loads placed on the trucks axles is measured at the tires and ground interface and includes axles/wheels/tires/etc.
Just for example.... Your 3500 SRW Dodge has a 6500 RAWR and many unladin rear axles weigh in the 2900-3000 lb range which leaves around 3500-3600 lbs for a payload.
When you have your trucks axle weighed separately keep a copy of the scale ticket in the truck for future reference.
Jimnlin, what tires came OEM on your truck. I recall that in 2003 they switched to 17" rims and LT245/70R17 or LT265/70R17 rated at 3000 or 3195. Neither of those add up to 6500 RAWR??? I kind of remember it was the 245 and the axle rating went down for 6084 to 6000 in 2003. But I could be all wet!
