ITD District 2 Maintenance Engineer Doral Hoff is testifying at the megaloads contested-case hearing this morning, answering questions from ITD attorney Tim Thomas about the transportation plan that the Imperial Oil/ExxonMobil's hauler, Mammoet Transportation, submitted to ITD. "The main purpose of the transportation plan is the safety and convenience of the public," Hoff said. "What we mean by that is, is the public not going to be delayed more than 15 minutes. And how can we do that safely." That included questions about contingency plans, Hoff said. "The loads do take up the entire roadway, and there were a number of locations throughout the route ... where there was a potential for them to possibly get stuck between the guardrail and the rock face, or if there was a mechanical breakdown."
