Trailer Weight Again

I know this has been covered before but this week I finally went to a CAT scale and weighed the trailer. It's a little frightening how much it weighs. The thing I want someone to confirm is "Pin weight will be less that the weight registerd on the front jacks." Basic physics would tell me that? I unhitched and weighed the front (on jacks) and rear (on tires) The front was 6000 lbs with nothing in the basement except the factory installed generator. (about 1/3 of the total weight) 1/3 is way too high for a pin weight. Ya I know I should weigh it attached, weigh each truck axle, compute the pin weight (Someday I will) but that's a lot of scale time. Sould I be concerned???
