An axle temperature monitoring system for monitoring the temperature of an axle spindle and warning a user of excessively high temperature readings includes a sleeve that enwraps the axle spindle with a temperature sensor installed within the sleeve near the inside and outside bearings of the axle spindle. The temperature sensor communicates wirelessly with a central processing unit that activates a warning light when the temperature exceeds the safe operating temperature threshold. The warning light may be installed on an exterior surface of the vehicle, for example on the front driver's side of a trailer, so that the user can see the warning light from the driver's seat. The driver can then slow down and stop the vehicle until the spindles cool down.
