A fifth wheel mounting bracket comprising at least one isolation area where it may be desirable to measure an isolated force in a given direction while minimizing crosstalk from forces in other directions. Strain gauges applied to the isolation areas allow for such a measurement. The fifth wheel mounting bracket may further comprise an elongated mounting beam with several isolation areas disposed about a neutral axis, a fifth wheel hitch plate coupling portion, and a plurality of pillars disposed between the coupling portion and the elongated mounting beam. The plurality of pillars form isolation areas. Strain gauges attached to the isolation areas on the beam and the pillars allow for measurement of forces isolated in the horizontal, forward, lateral, and forward roll moment directions.
