Certified Nationwide Pilot Car & Escort Services
Guiding Oversize Loads with Safety and Precision
Lead & Chase Escort Vehicles
Lead Escort
We lead the way—literally. The front escort is responsible for:
Identifying route hazards (low bridges, traffic, sharp curves)
Signaling oncoming traffic
Communicating with the driver and rear pilot
Providing real-time traffic updates and safe navigation
Chase Escort
Bringing up the rear, the chase car ensures:
Traffic behind the load is safely managed
Protection of the cargo from rear-end collisions
Clear communication to help navigate lane changes, exits, and emergency stops
High-Pole Escorting
Route Surveys
For tall loads, our height pole pilot:
Uses an extendable pole to test for clearance on power lines, bridges, signs, and other overhead hazards
Drives at least 2.5 inches higher than the load to ensure your cargo fits without issue
Communicates instantly to the driver about potential clearance issues
Before the wheels roll, we’ll do a full dry run:
Identify obstacles
Measure clearances
Confirm turn radius capability
Ensure the route meets all state and DOT requirements
We stay ahead of changing state-by-state pilot car rules:
Verify state escort requirements
Confirm hours of operation and travel restrictions
Assist in route planning in coordination with DOT permits
