Before delving deeper into how our two companies work together, it’s important to understand the role of a pilot car. Also known as an escort vehicle, a pilot car travels in front of or behind an oversize load to guide it safely through the route. These vehicles alert nearby drivers, monitor road conditions, and help trucks navigate narrow roads, sharp turns, bridges, and low-clearance areas.
Pilot car drivers also play a critical role in reducing the risk of accidents. They serve as extra eyes and ears on the road, ensuring that everything moves smoothly from pickup to delivery. These professionals are trained, certified, and knowledgeable about the specific rules that apply in each jurisdiction they travel through.
ODS North America specializes in coordinating certified and reliable pilot car drivers across the United States and Canada. With a network of experienced escort vehicle operators, we take the stress out of finding qualified drivers for your wide, tall, or long-load shipments.
Shippers and carriers rely on ODS to handle the logistics of pilot car coordination—from vetting drivers to scheduling and dispatching—so that the transport team can focus on moving the load. We take pride in providing dependable services that play a key role in supporting safe and legal oversize transport for every client.
