Checking trailer wheels

[Oldfart9999]

After reading Mikes post in the Trailers thread I thought I would mention again what I've posted here before. When you reach your destination with your rig, take the minute or so to walk around the trailer and touch and look at the wheels, if they are warm or hot you have a problem, anything  from a soft tire to a wheel bearing going and you will be able to get it fixed before you wind up stranded. It only takes a a minute or 2 and will let you see things like missing lugs, soft tires, tire wear etc.

Thanks for the info Rodney, I got into this habit some time ago

I learned to do this on long trips as well. Every time I stop for gas, go touch the hub and wheel. Can save loosing a bearing out on the highway...

Great reminder.

I need to pay more attention to this myself.  On long trips when stopping for gas etc. I always do a walk around.  My short trips to Belton or Stillhouse not so much so.

Rodney tks for sharing this with us.
