Description:

A pilot car driver, also known as an escort vehicle driver or a lead car driver, is responsible for escorting oversized or over-dimensional vehicles, such as trucks, trailers, and cranes, to ensure that they can safely and legally travel on public roads.

  • Communicating with the driver of the oversized vehicle: The pilot car driver must maintain contact with the driver of the oversized vehicle to coordinate movements and ensure that the convoy stays on course.
  • Conducting route surveys: The pilot car driver must conduct a thorough survey of the route before the trip to identify any obstacles or hazards that could affect the convoy's movement.
  • Managing traffic: The pilot car driver must manage traffic along the convoy route, signaling to other drivers when it is safe to pass or when they need to slow down.
  • Reporting incidents and accidents: The pilot car driver must immediately report any incidents or accidents that occur during the journey.
  • Maintaining logs and records: The pilot car driver must maintain accurate logs and records of the trip, including time spent, distance traveled, and any incidents that occur.
Requirements:

  • Must have a current Pilot Car Certification
  • A valid driver's license and a clean driving record
  • 1-2 Years Pilot/Escort Car experience Required
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills
  • Good knowledge of traffic laws and regulations
  • Knowledge of safe driving practices
  • Experience in the transportation industry is an advantage
  • Ability to work flexible hours and travel long distances
