It means you have transferred a total of 465 lb of trailer weight to the truck, and it seems to be 200 lb on the rear axle and 265 on the front. You've added more weight to the front axle than the rear, which might make the rear end squirrely. Seems you need to back off the WD just a little bit.
Other issue: Looks like 465 lb is the tongue weight of the trailer. Is that 10-15 percent of the trailer gross? If not, the trailer is too light on the tongue. you can get the trailer gross using RCMAN46's second weight total minus the third weight total.
Another issue: is the trailer level or slightly tongue down when connected.
Hard to tell how much weight was transferred to truck F/R axles or tongue weight as there is nothing to compare posted weights to
Trucks weights w/o trailer
Truck & Trailer weights w/o WDH
Trucks axles weights are UNDER their GAWRs
Trucks weight is UNDER its GVWR
Truck/Trailer is UNDER GCVWR
Trailer has a GVWR of 8500# and with 6820# on axles it would appear to be UNDER GVWR for trailer also (doubt tongue weight is 1780#)
