I would go to a local notary and file an affidavit stating all that 
happened in the transaction and get that notarized.  The DMV would then 
have to prove that you were lying.  As to weight, there are certified 
scales at many truck stops, there should be no problem with the DMV 
accepting that as proof of  weight.  (I'm assuming here that you have no 
GVWR tag on trailer, and no weight class on existing paperwork.)  If the 
clerk at the desk cannot accept that, politely apologise for taking her 
time for something she is unable (implication being incompetent) to 
accomlish and ask to deal with her supervisor.  Just keep politely 
climbing the ladder until you get to someone willing to make a 
decision.  Bet it won't take too many steps.

PS:  You could always move here to New Mexico.  Sharon up at the Clayton 
MVD office is a real sweetheart, and actually comes out to the highway 
(parking lot too small) to get the information off the trailer.
