How can I become a pilot driver?

The qualifications that you need to become a pilot driver include a driver’s license and the skills to communicate with truck drivers via radio. Since you drive in front of other vehicles, you need to be able to navigate on roads and highways. Most states require that pilot drivers obtain a permit before they start to offer escort services. In a few states, the permit process includes undergoing additional training, while other states only require you to register with the Department of Transportation and obtain approved equipment, such as warning lights and "wide load" signs, for your car.
