Weighing at Cat Scales

After watching a couple of youTube videos, apparently the only way to determine the exact pin weight of a 5th wheel trailer is to weigh the truck/trailer and then disconnect the trailer and weigh the truck by itself. The unloaded rear axle weight of the truck compared to the loaded rear axle weight should provide the trailer actual pin weight.

Having never weighed at a Cat Scale, is the procedure to go inside and explain what is needed before driving on the scale platforms? I assume there will be two charges.
