The load on the king pin on a semi trailer can be calculated by weighing the vehicle. When weighing the vehicle on a certified scale, the steers (front tires), drives (the two axles on the semi cab) and the tandems (the two axles on the trailer) are all weighed separately as a part of the whole weight. The king pin weight is the weight of the drives.
