How Long Do Truck Trailers Last?
The lifespan of your truck trailer can vary, but generally, you can expect most commercial trailers to last between 10 to 15 years. Several factors influence how long they’ll stay roadworthy, such as the type of trailer, the conditions they face, and how well they’re maintained.
For instance, heavy-duty trailers that take on more rugged jobs or extreme loads might show signs of wear earlier than those used under less demanding conditions. Similarly, exposure to harsh weather—like rain, snow, or intense heat—can weaken your trailer’s structure over time, causing it to need our repair services sooner.
As expected, trailers that receive regular servicing and routine maintenance tend to outlast those that don’t. Things like checking for rust, inspecting tires, and ensuring the trailer’s load capacity isn’t exceeded all help prolong its useful life. We suggest that you keep up with repairs and preventative maintenance, as well. Routine servicing is key to making sure your trailer reaches or even exceeds the expected lifespan.

Why Does My Truck Trailer Lean to One Side?
A truck trailer leaning to one side could be caused by several factors. If we determine that it’s not due to improper loading practices, we’ll explore other potential issues.
Tire issues, such as uneven wear or low pressure, can cause imbalance. A twisted chassis, often from past damage or overloading, can lead to a noticeable lean. Lastly, a bent suspension—caused by wear or impact—may result in improper weight distribution.
