When I've weighed at these CAT scales, I've been able to split the drive and tag onto separate parts of the scale. Obviously this is prone to some degree of error as it's really hard to get this situated so that you get an accurate weight.

But, I'm glad your overall weight came down.
Ray - I don't know what to say/do. We're just doing what the Weigh Master at the CAT Scale said. He did say that, the way we weighed at the Pilot probably included the weight of the toad with the rear most (tag) axle, so assuming ( yeah, I know about "assuming"...) that the other axle weights at Pilot were essentially accurate, subtracting the drive axle weight from the Pilot ticket from the combined steer/tag weight on the QT ticket should give a good estimate of the actual tag axle weight. It made sense when Vita explained what he said! Since the steer axle weight was only 120 lbs difference between the two scale tickets, it seemed like a reasonable way to get a close estimate of the other two axles....
