<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Okay, I see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They want a duplicate tractor and trailer from Davis’s fleet, and they want to look at the brakes on that duplicate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They cannot look at the brakes on the equipment in the wreck because it was destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had misinterpreted the article by Jaffe saying that UP/Amtrak should go out and find their own tractor trailer if they want to look at one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought they were just asking for a facsimile to see how the brakes worked.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">In any event, I can surely see why the UP lawyer would want to discover everything about Davis’s truck maintenance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess it goes without saying that Davis has a duplicate to the truck that was in the crash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But as for evidence, I would not be surprised if Davis truck brakes are in A-1 perfect condition these days.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">At some point, I am guessing that the truck manufacturer’s engineers are going to be called to explain how much distance it would take to stop that truck at 70 mph if the brakes were within proper specs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span> </span></span></p>
