My question is, are the 2 ways of weighing any different other than determining the different axle weights? Do both methods equal the same total weight?
Yes, both scales provide the same total weight. The advantage of the CAT type scale, where it provides the individual axle weight, is that it will show you if you are over the GAWR (gross axle weight rating) for a single axle.
It is doubtful that you are over on a GAWR if you are not over the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating), but it is possible.
