It doesn't take too long and will definitely make a difference minimizing tire wear. I have found that very few shops will align a trailer and I don't know what is involved with fancier or newer rigs.
This is the culprit on most trailers with excessive tire wear. Bent axles are a major cause also. With good axles and alignment, you should get many years of heavy use from a set of radial TRAILER tires. D or E rated tires only on a trailer. C or below car tires won’t do as well.
