How Often Should You Inspect Your Trailer?

Inspecting your trailer every six months is essential to ensure its safety and performance. Our regular inspections can help identify wear and tear, including issues with the brakes, suspension, and tires before they lead to more significant problems.

This frequency allows for timely maintenance, which can extend the lifespan of your trailer and enhance your operational efficiency. Additionally, inspecting the lights, wiring, and structural integrity is important to comply with safety regulations.

By committing to biannual check-ups, you can ensure that your trailer remains in optimal condition, helping to protect your investment and keep your drivers safe on the road.

Why Does Your Truck Keep Saying Service Trailer Brake System?

If your truck keeps saying "Service Trailer Brake System," it’s obviously a warning sign of an issue with your trailer's braking system, but what exactly could the issue be?

Here are some possible reasons why this message may appear on your truck:

  • Brake controller malfunction: The message could mean the controller is malfunctioning in vehicles with electronic brake controllers. This can cause issues with properly activating the trailer brakes.
  • Faulty wiring: The wiring connecting the truck to the trailer could have become damaged or corroded, leading to incorrect signals being sent to the braking system.
  • Low brake fluid levels: Like in a truck, low brake fluid levels can cause issues with the brakes on a trailer. If the message appears, it's important to check the brake fluid levels and refill them if necessary.
  • Worn-out brake pads or rotors: Over time, the brake pads and rotors on a trailer can wear down and lose their effectiveness. This could be a possible reason why your truck keeps displaying this message.

A trailer's braking system is crucial for safe operation on the road and this warning should never be ignored.

What Is the Life Expectancy of a Truck Trailer?

The average lifespan of a commercial trailer typically ranges from 10 to 15 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and the type of trailer. Trailers regularly serviced and properly maintained tend to last longer, providing a better return on investment. Heavy-duty trailers, designed for demanding conditions, may experience more wear and tear, potentially reducing their lifespan. Additionally, environmental factors like exposure to harsh weather conditions can impact durability.
