Go to any truck stop. Every coach I have weighed I have been able to place each axle on a separate section of scale so I managed to get individual weights plus my gross weight. If the sections are not spaced so you can do that, you may have to get two or three separate readings (weight tickets) to read out each axle’s weight.

I dont know if this will help you but we have a guy here at the great outdoors resort in titusville that does it. His name is Roy hathaway and the phone number is 321-506-0434

It’s easy at the scales, just split the tag and drive on the platform and have the steer on it’s own. 3 weights and you’re done.

You guys in Oregon are lucky, if the scale is closed, just roll up there and you’ll see your weights on the digital screen. I did it just to compare to the Cat Scales for fun.

Most truck tire shops have portable scales that will give you the weight on each wheel. It’s quick and should be performed to get an accurate weight on the tire for proper inflation (based on brand, size and position). You might be surprised at the required tire pressure from what the converter stated was needed when the vehicle was built. You’d also be surpried at the difference in required pressure per axle between tire brands.

It’s been my experience that Michelin tires require less pressure for a given weight that Bridgstone or Toyo. That makes for a softer ride. For that reason, I always install Michelin tires.

Rephrase my statement: Not drive-on scales, but PORTABLE scales they place under each wheel.
