Cargo Escorts and Pilot Car Services

Purchase customizable wide load signs for your own escort cars You can customize vehicles using approved wide load signs that are available for purchase online. Be alert that states have different regulations concerning these signs, so check out the rules before you purchase.

I recommend:  Blazing Technologies, Inc. sells and installs oversize load signs on your vehicles. They also have information about some states’ regulations concerning such installations.

Check out permits and regulations before you ship oversize loads All states require the appropriate permits before you ship oversize loads, and the regulations vary slightly from state to state.

I recommend:  On the Move Permits specializes in the permitting process and also offers a listing of pilot car services. US Pilot Cars gives the wide load regulations for all 50 states. The US Department of Transportation offers advice on planning to move wide loads.

Find an oversize escort that works in your geographic area Most wide load escorts operate only in certain states, due to licensing and permitting issues. You can search databases for those companies that work where you are and meet your needs.

I recommend:  Professional Pilot Car has an extensive database in which companies are listed for all 50 states, Canada and other countries around the world.
