Hey guys looking for input on a preferred brake shoe brand? I did my trailer brakes around a year ago I think and I just bought whatever the parts store had and they aren't lasting great. I need to do some on my truck and trailer soon so I was wondering if you guys have had good experiences with a certain brand? The shoes I got from the part store are the worst wearing I have ever seen. I don't remember the brand but they weren't one of the big brands, wabco, Bendix etc. Thanks in advance.

The supplier I get parts from stocks Bendix thats why I perfer them but they can get Webco ..
I did a cut off here a couple months ago the guy that own's the truck brought me in some cheap shoes .. American was in the name if I remember right .. they were in a blue box with red & white lettering I open the box and looked told him take them back I will get some good shoes ..
I said ain't your life worth the 60 or 70.00 a set more ?

Yep I didn't give it much thought because before I moved location my parts store just had all Bendix stuff which is probably the biggest brand so I figured they were good. The new parts store I put all new everything on my trailer about a year ago and they are pretty much done already...bendix stuff would last years.

It is not just the brand but there are different friction ratings on brake shoes or pads.

We used to use Carlyle HD2 on general fleet trucks . HD1 on dump, concrete and some tank trucks. The HD1's were more aggressive with more metal in them. A refrigerator magnet would stick to those. Great stopping but you might need drums every brake job.
I thank those may have been replaced by MB20 and MB23 linings. Used to have a sheet with many different brands and their corresponding numbers.
Have no complaints with any brand name shoes but there is a lot of off shore crap out there anymore.
