That works great but not if you have a mean lookin' guy in a big semi behind you waiting to get on the scale! :B May work at some scales but not allowed at a CAT scale.

When I weigh TW I will pull onto the scale so the tongue jack is as close to center (without the trailer axles touching the scale) and unhook and pull away. No math makes for a better reading.
True, you also have to pay for cat scales so I generally pull into the closed weigh stations. I am not sure about the rest of the country, but in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon it's rare to pull into a closed station and find the scale off. They leave them on for people to use. There is rarely a line so you can tinker as much as your DW will let you.
