    Anyone done them lately? I have a dry van, no special needs, just wondering about what they run these days on average.

    I'll dig out my last receipt today but it was a couple years back. I'm hoping the supply chain gouging isn't going to get me but we'll see.

    Drum, shoes and drums, they are done already and just started on it this morning. Fastest they have ever been by days. I guess I got lucky. I'm not sure if they had to do bushings or anything else. I'll update this after I get the bill.

    I do know that parts prices went up and they had to do some other things, I had a full PM done and some work on the auto inflation system too.

    Reason for edit: I was mistaken about the final charge.

    Wow!

    Shoes and drums only shouldn't take more than 45 minutes an axle.

    Here in LA we usually get our drum brakes for about $40-$80 a wheel. I do the brakes myself which saves. For 5 axles usually runs me around $200 an axle, if I have them done. But when I do them myself the cost is around >$800

    Well, I just went there to stretch legs and I thought..." let's do the Trailer Annual....$70 ... sure I can do it"
    He said, he found crack on a shoe, another was was too thin. I said "go ahead" ... then the drums were not looking sexy either, I said "go ahead".

    Then remembering one dude having hard time finding drums in Chicago land....I thought for a minute and said to him "do it all!"

    When they announced the final charge...I paused for a minute and thought " It was supposed to be $70 break...but on the other hand, what do you reckon we make all that money for?" Without thinking for much longer I reached for the wallet and this is the end of the story.

    Hold on! Hold on!
    I apologize I confused that repair with something else...
    Just checked the Quickbooks and it was

    $1953.70 not $2700.00

    So sorry!
