Q. And why do dump trucks, delivery trucks and tractor trailers all use drum brakes?
A. Because of their superior stopping power and shorter stopping distance.
The only advantage disc brakes have over drums is that they don't heat up and fade during repeated, high speed, panic stops. Unless you're auto-crossing your vehicle, drums work perfectly fine.
