I noticed a trailer bearing going bad on a tandem axle tilt trailer. It was late in the afternoon and I was traveling. I went to a well known shop and they told me they could not fix it that night and would not be able to the next day. They told me I would probably be okay to drive on it. I didn't agree. I found a local tow truck driver and asked him if he knew anyone that could work on the trailer at that time of night. He suggested North Bay Trucks. I called them and they could not work on it that night, but told me they could the next day. They told me that I should not drive with the bearing going bad and I agreed.
I went to their shop the next day. They found the bearing on that wheel to be completely wore out. All other bearings were not in great shape. The shoes had worn brake linings. They were extremely bad on the driver's side. These guys were able to fix the trailer on short notice and did an excellent job. The trailer works great and I was extremely appreciative when I went over the Siskyous
