FAQS

General Information about Trailers

What is the difference in a "Bearing Buddy" and E-Z Lube?
"Bearing Buddy" refers to a brand of grease cap that covers the end of the spindle and has a grease fitting in the center. It allows adding grease but really only gets fresh grease to the outer bearing. Improperly used, it can rupture the spindle seal. It can cause a false feeling of security for many people, because they think they don't need to pull and repack their bearings periodically. The E-Z LUBE hub has a grease fitting but it is part of the hub, which has an orifice allowing grease to go to both inner and outer bearings. It can be used to re-grease the bearings whenever they are cleaned and re-assembled. Periodic bearing pulling, checking and repacking is still needed but a little less frequently. If you have a wheel get hot and lose grease you can easily re-grease both bearings to hopefully get you to a service facility without ruining a spindle.

Will I need special mirrors on the tow vehicle?
Only with 8' and 8 1/2' wide trailers will you need mirror extensions.

What if I can't back the trailer up?
You can learn. Anyone can do it. Just get someone to demonstrate in a large lot. Then practice. It is interesting to note that the smallest trailers (4'-8' long) are the most difficult to back.

When do I have to stop at the scales (truck weigh station)?
It is impossible to get a clear answer on this because each state enforces the law differently. Some scales within the same state are very different. The law requires you to stop if you are involved in commercial transactions, and you are automatically considered to be commercial if your total rig weighs 26,000 lbs. or more. If you do get stopped, be sure to have fire extinguishers, safety flares or triangles, and about $200-$300 CASH. If you only have credit cards and checks you aren't going anywhere. Note- the most likely thing to attract attention to you is lights that don't work.
