Weighing truck and trailer

That's exactly what I do when I go to the CAT scales. For my first weigh with truck only loaded for the road I drive up to the scales and weight the truck. (and I have a long walking stick that I used to push the button.) I go home, hitch up and run back to the scales to weight the whole thing. (getting the cheap reweigh) It helps that I only live a couple of miles from the cat scales.

The next time I do this I'm thinking about getting a third weigh, one with the trailer hooked up, but with the Equalizer bars not hooked up.

Also commercial highway truck scales but won't get a scale ticket and you definitely can't hold truckers up. Some locations may have an area where you can unhook to get truck only weight and can back up or go around.

If you go to a CAT scale, tell them inside you want to do multiple passes and then when you go around for 2nd or more passes, tell the attendant it's a reweigh so you won't get charged extra. Don't forget to take a long stick as the call button is way up in the air for trucks.
