Wheel Bearings Packed? Yearly Maintenance
How often do you have the wheel bearings packed on your trailer? And do you take it in for a yearly maintenance inspection?

I have to shake my head at things like this. What business do they have doing these kinds of inspections? I might could see them jacking up the trailer, spinning the wheels and twisting on the wheels checking for wheel bearing nut adjustment, brakes too tight or loose, etc., but removing your wheels and messing with the bearings? That's way over the top. Fortunately here in NC, they don't inspect trailers, yet.
You can't even allow them to jack up a trailer. I stopped one idiot from placing the jack near the center of the axle. When I wrote about it here folks on this forum responded that I was the problem.
I only mentioned a few of the many problems I've had with inspections. The most recent was with my F250 when they destroyed one hub cap and torqued the lug nuts to 70 instead of 140. This was at a station that has an excellent reputation, you have never seen one cleaner.
