Phil, you're having the same problem myself and others at the power company
I work for are having. The brakes on my company truck would grab hard the
first few times I applied the brakes after the truck sat overnight. The
mechanics told me it was moisture getting into the brake linings. Alot of
brake linings are no longer built with asbestos in them so they are made of
a moisture absorbing material. The environmentalists at work. I suggest
trying to find someone who will reline your brake shoes with original
lining and I'll bet the problem goes away.
