Ethridge, TN
How does the truck end up sitting on the scales?? Are they weighing the tractor, and then the trailer axles to do the split??

As others have said, how the approaches are in relation to the scale can make a pretty good difference. I had to deliver some corn to a hog operation that didn't have scales long enough to do the full semi. Weighing the split by doing the truck, and then the trailer, produced what you are seeing. The scale was long enough tho, that I could weigh the steer axle, and then get both the tandems of the truck, and then the trailer on. That came out so close, that the difference was probably just the plain difference between the two scale settings. The scale bed was high, and both ends where ramped up to the bed height.
