I'm really wanting to get a hold of a former DOT inspector who could explain everything that goes into their job after an accident, like, did the truck receive all their safety recalls? What if the driver was unable to inspect brakes if their vehicle brakes were not inspect-able because their truck was too low to the ground. Etc... can you refer me to anyone?
