If you’re hauling heavy loads across Tennessee or just moving equipment around town, your trailer isn’t just a tool—it’s your livelihood. But just like any hardworking machine, it can wear down fast if you miss the warning signs.
Here are 5 red flags that your trailer needs a repair—before it costs you time, money, or your safety.
1. Your Trailer Feels “Off” When Towing
Does your trailer sway or pull to one side? It might be a suspension issue or uneven tire wear. This could mean something’s off with the axle alignment, bearings, or tires—and it’ll only get worse over time.
Pro Tip: If you’re feeling resistance or drifting, don’t keep hauling. Get it inspected right away.
2. Worn or Cracked Tires
Trailer tires don’t last forever. If you see cracks, bulges, or bald spots, you’re riding on borrowed time. Blowouts on the highway? Not worth the risk.
Always check tire pressure and condition before hitting the road.
3. Brake System Isn’t Responsive
Trailer brakes are your lifesavers, especially when carrying heavy loads downhill. If you notice grinding sounds, poor stopping distance, or if your electric brakes aren’t engaging—that’s a major red flag.
Our team can inspect, adjust, or replace your braking system same-day.
4. Electrical Issues: Lights Flicker or Don’t Work
Faulty tail lights, brake lights, or turn signals are not just frustrating—they’re illegal and dangerous. Most of the time, it’s a wiring issue or a blown fuse, both of which can be fixed fast.
Avoid getting ticketed or rear-ended. Let’s fix those lights.
5. Loose or Rusted Parts
If you hear rattling, or see rust around hinges, joints, or frames—it’s time to act. Small issues like this lead to broken welds, snapped chains, or dropped loads.
A quick inspection can save you from a very expensive day.
