| Abstract | These guidelines summarize the results of extensive research and analysis of existing formalized pilot car escort training materials. The analysis culminated in the identification of the noted ?Best Practices? for pilot car escort assisted movement of permitted oversize/overweight loads. The outline is intended as a guide for prospective pilot car escort operations and as a review for existing operations. It is recommended that the Pilot Car Escort Training Manual, FHWA-HOP-04-028, supplement the guide. |
