You should always turn your rotors when replacing your pads for maximum braking efficiency.
In fact on many large trucks, they will even grind the pads to ensure a good fit.
Even new rotors should be turned to verify a true surface.
When your dealing with the weight of any large vehicle, brakes and/or braking systems should not be the place where you may want to save some money.
Can your wheel bearings be repacked vs. being replaced ?

OK. How do you know this? What are your credentials? Tell us how many years you've made your living working on heavy vehicles and brakes. How many years have you been ASE certified? How many seminars have you attended, given by various brake part manufactures.
