Need help at weigh station
I have never weighed my rig. They have built a new gas station faily close to my home so have decided to take it to the scales. Question is what do I do? Leave trailer hooked up? Un-hook trailer? What...

Is there anyway to get individual axle weights on TT? Or is that important? How likely is someone to overload one side or axle on the TT? Could I have too much weight on a single tire and it is overloaded?
Yes but it will require a 4th weight and some help from the DW or somebody. Just pull on the scales until the trailer axles are each on a pad. This is where you may need help as it is difficult to see if each is on a pad and not bridging a pad.
Do this with the WD engaged as that is how it will be when towing and you are interested if the weights are near even and less than tire capacity.
If it is a single pad scale just stop with front axle of trailer on the scale then pull forward where everything is on the scale. That is what I do as I use the scale at my local garbage transfer station. They let me do this if they are not real busy at no cost.
