being a truck driver and have seen what the trucks brakes look like, for 1, they are huge, 2, no way a brake shoe is coming out.
yes trucks have drum brakes all around. the shoe is like 5 inches wide and a 12 inch 1/2 circle. if a brake pad came up off the road and hit her car its not off the tractor trailer, thats for damn sure. its wheels may have kicked it up, and in most states the truck nor the driver is responsible for your damage.
now if something fell off the truck and hit your car, the truck is at fault 100% of the time.
truck brake shoes
the drum on. really no way for the shoes to come out of there.
some trucks are getting caliper rotor brakes but those are also huge and i cant see it come free and come out either.
