I have a very small trailer -- 2500 lb, fully loaded. I get my bearings repacked and inspected every year. (Probably could do it myself, but I want some professional eyes on the hardware.)

I had around 70,000 miles on my bearings. The mechanic did the annual inspection and said that the bearings were shot -- he showed them to me, and they were. So I got them replaced. Not cheap, but gotta do it.
This seems unusual, especially if you have them serviced annually !
Trailer bearings are usually pretty cheap. Less than $30
(some less than $20) for inner and outer bearing and grease seals on etrailer.com.
