Go to a CatScale location and weigh your rig. They are located at most large truck stops.
There are three platforms. You put the front axle on the 1st, rear axle on the 2nd, and trailer axles on the third. In your case you would probably only use the first two platforms. You can weigh any combination of axles you wish.
Just make sure you don't tie up the scales very long if it is busy. Truckers don't mind waiting in line but will get upset if someone ties up the scale for a long time.
