Pulling a stretch RGN that was to long for the platform I would have to do a split weigh.
Most of the cashiers don't know how to do it,.
Even though it was a pain in the arse,I just started pulling off and get the first ticket and pulling back with the trailer on the scale and just doing a re-weigh.
Does this scale ticket look right? Scale not functioning properly?

And some idiot takes a picture and puts you on social media for pulling on the scales wrong!MadScientist, Bean Jr., Speedy356 and 9 others Thank this. -
It is not so much that they do single axles, it more the platform they have as a scale. Depending on location, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho have single platform scales. Usually they are the smaller locations.They will scale each axle group or on a spread, each axle as a single.MadScientist, cke, beastr123 and 2 others Thank this.

So from your previous pics, looks like the wagon you're drag'n is a 53' cal legal fixed spread, meaning 40' kingpin rear axle setting..
My fear was you are 43880 on the spread, easy to overload with the axles so far foward..
Assuming the 47k load weight is correct,
& estimating your tare weight of 32k.
Looks like you'd be about 78-79k lb gross if the steer & drive weight is accurate..
This is probably a waste of a post though, as you've already stated one chicken coop already gave you the green.. -
Yeah man, I don't know what was going on with that ticket. Next load hopefully will be better.
I'll try getting the gross weight and then just reweigh for the axles.Speed_Drums, Pamela1990, JoeyJunk and 1 other person Thank this. -
Theres lots of creeping through the scale the wrong way. Especially at night when everyone parks blocking the exit.Bean Jr., cke, Pamela1990 and 3 others Thank this.

Colorado and Wyoming do.cke and singlescrewshaker Thank this.

Every Weigh-in-motion site does, just by the fact all they can weigh is a single axle at a time. Now the "official" weight when stopped and get the accurate weight... Well I'm sure that goes off how picky the scale master wants to be at the time.
