We have ODOT scales in Oregon that are open all the time and free. So I'm never in contact with an operator. Never used a CAT scale. Is it possible to just lower the landing gear till the pin weight is off the 5th hitch? Or are you in a line and need to keep moving?

Well , after I pulled on the scales and placed where I wanted to be , and got my 4 weights , I wanted to drop the front landing legs and lift the pin off the hitch , "take the weight off the truck " that way I could get just the truck , and just the trailer , but that seemed to be a problem , and communication and understanding was non existent. I would of payed the extra 10 bucks for the weights.
Oh well ,another time and another place.
I'll post back an update when it happens , anymore educated guesses, maybe i'll post a small camping gift for the closest guesser to keep it fun and light .
Thanks Rich,

They will never let you drop a trailer on a CAT Scale. It just is not going to happen. You have to drop the trailer off the scale in a parking spot and pull back on. The act of dropping a semi trailer like that would mess up the scale so there is a no trailer dropping policy. Sliding axles on a scale is another big no-no.

Until you drop the trailer and drive back onto the scales there is no way for you to determine pin weight. Except to take 20% of the trailers GVWR at this point.
