Pilot Car Escort Services
Every oversize or overweight load has different needs. We staff the right combination of Lead, Chase, High Pole, Steer, and Route Survey escorts for your specific dimensions, route, and state requirements.
Lead Escort
Your lead escort travels ahead of the oversize load, scouting the route in real time. They flag hazards, narrow lanes, construction zones, low clearances, and traffic conditions with enough lead time for the driver to react safely.
- Advance hazard and clearance detection
- Real-time radio communication with the driver
- Traffic control support at intersections and merges
Chase Escort
The chase escort follows behind the load, protecting it from following traffic and providing high visibility with warning signage and lights. Critical for wide loads that occupy more than one lane.
- Rear traffic management and visibility
- Lane-change and merge support for overtaking traffic
- Signage-equipped vehicle per state requirements
High Pole Escort
For loads with significant height, a high pole vehicle runs ahead with a pole set to the load's exact height, physically contacting low wires, signs, or bridge members before the load reaches them.
- Pole calibrated to precise load height
- Overhead obstruction detection before contact
- Essential for utility lines, low bridges, and canopies
Steer Escort
Steer escorts guide drivers through tight turns, narrow roads, and congested intersections, helping position wide or long loads precisely where clearance is limited.
- Turn and intersection guidance
- Precision positioning in tight clearances
- Coordinated communication with lead and chase vehicles
Route Survey
Before the load ever moves, we run the route in advance to confirm clearances, turn radii, permit requirements, and any restrictions, so moving day has no surprises.
- Pre-trip clearance and obstruction verification
- Turn radius and intersection assessment
- Detailed report delivered before dispatch
