The Other Half of the Rig
Trailer Repair in Rolla, MO
Lighting, air, landing gear and running gear repaired at the yard or the roadside, on trailers still hooked or long since dropped.
Where Inspections Go Wrong
Trailer Repair That Keeps You Legal
Trailers get walked around far less often than tractors. Nobody starts a trailer in the morning or listens to it idle, so faults build quietly until an inspection finds them or something gives out on the road. Lighting and brake defects are among the most cited problems in roadside enforcement for exactly that reason.
We handle the whole trailer: the electrical side, the air side, the running gear and the physical hardware. That covers a dry van with a dead marker light and a flatbed whose landing gear will not crank in a muddy yard.

Trailer Faults We See
Trailer Problems That End a Run
None of these are dramatic, and every one of them will stop a load.
-
Marker lights out down one side
A ground fault or chafed harness, and it will fail an inspection immediately.
-
Air leak at the gladhand
A worn seal bleeding pressure until the trailer brakes refuse to release.
-
Landing gear seized
Nothing moves until it cranks, which strands the tractor as much as the trailer.
-
Airbag blown on one corner
The trailer sits crooked and the load moves in ways nobody intended.
-
Doors that will not latch
Twisted frames and worn hardware turning a secure load into an open one.
