Here's what it says on the door jamb label:

This is to account for uneven loading of the truck, such as if you put a very heavy trailer tongue far behind the rear axle, or a very heavy snow plow out front.

This is to account for the truck starting and stopping, where weight will momentarily shift from one axle to the other.
