I towed a boat from Aransas Pass, TX to Boston, MA. I was about 80 miles from home and pulled up to a toll booth only to have someone tell me that my hubcap fell off my trailer. So I pulled over to find a totally smoked bearing that was just about on fire. Looks like the bearing buddy fell off at some point and the centrifugal force of the wheel spun alll of the grease out! Nothing like a 6 hour delay on the side of a tick infested highway in 95 degree heat before a holiday weekend.
Don’t even get me started on the piece of plywood kicked up by an 18 wheeler that perforated the hull of said boat or the transmission on the Uhaul taking a crap near the Greenbriar resort!!
