I do what "Chasnracin" suggests. There is a moving company down the road from where I live. They are friendly to the public since they aren't that busy with weighing moving trucks and their loads. However, for the reason "8.1al" mentions, call ahead to make sure they are friendly to recreational rigs!

I call in advance and exercise much patience that the trucks get first crack (only happened once), then I can take my time weighing my rig just like "sailer" recommends. The other thing I did was weigh a single wheel on one side at each point to check side-to-side weights too (subtract this weight from the total axle weight and the remainder is the other side's weight).

It costs me $10 and I can get as many weights as I want. I don't ask for a certified document or that would cost a lot more. The operator just writes all the weights down on a piece of paper and I calculate some other numbers. This is my experience with weighing the rig. Your experience may differ.
