What does it cost to replace a set of bearings in a trailer tire?It depends on when you do it.

Bearings-$15.00

Tow truck $125.00

Lost day $1100.00

Watching your tire pass you by when you are taking a shortcut through the "Hood"- priceless

I like the new flatbed rig!
 
It looks like it was Wilson's that towed your trailer. Did you have them tow it to their place and do the work. I took mine trailer there for bearings once, they told me they were special bearings and it would be about $500 to replace. I took it to Parrish in Daphne and they did it for $125.00

I don't know if they just made a mistake or were trying to hose me. I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt after what happened to them, but I would be careful using them again.

Good Luck, let me know if I can help
 
They towed it to my house.I will be at the door of Bye Rite in the am when they open.A new hub and all is maybe $50.00.I am also gonna get a new axle tie down plate and U bolts.Already have the bearing buddies for it.Factory sealed bearing are a breakdown waiting to happen.

I'm not a big fan of Parrish's I used to rent equipment from them but not any more.

Yall do know of Bye Rite?They build these trailers out on hwy 90 about 5 miles from Roberstdale.
 
I bought my first trailer from them.....seem to be pretty good people......as far as renting equipment goes I generally go to DRC, they treat me pretty good. I don't get any special deals, but they have been good to deal with

ABC Trailer Parts . com is a good place to look for new hubs with bearings in them. I have 4 sitting here just waiting on a problem to happen like yours. They cost me $125 shipped and I got them in 2 days. Since your somewhat close I suspect they would have them to you in about the same time frame
 
I have had many of those days!! We had 4 of them happen on three trailers this past year. All my trailers are tamdem axel so we just slowly hobbled it on home on three wheels.

Starting this year ever 6 months all the trailers get a new outer bearing and at the end of the year they get all new bearings, seals, and brakes!!

I hate being broke down on the road. When I was running my hotshot trailer I have fixed a couple wheel bearing sitting on the side of the road. I always had extra bearings and the tools to get r dun!!!

Good luck man and hope you didn't ruin an axel. I've done that too!!
 
It's all fixed and back to work.Total cost $226.00

If it was done as preventive maint type thing it would have been $16.00

Glad it didn't cause any accidents! My husband lost his rear axle on his flat bed trailer a few years ago in Atlanta rush hour traffic. Amazingly missed the cars in the left hand lane and hit a bridge pylon instead of going into incoming traffic.

That was a fun phone call. I was trying to sleep in. My sister called and said there was some traffic backed up so I would need to leave early. He called and I was like "I know...I know...traffic is bad!" and he was like "Yah...because of me!" lol
