Routing & escorts

Route surveys, escorts, and compliance for oversize freight.

We plan routes, launch the right pilot cars, and coordinate permits, utilities, and police escorts so heavy haul and superload moves stay compliant and on schedule.

Tall machinery that fits on a step deck? We route and permit it under step deck heavy equipment when a well is not needed.

Route readiness

  • • Clearance checks: bridges, wires, signals
  • • Turn studies and detour reviews
  • • Bridge ratings and axle spacing validation

Escort launch

  • • Lead, chase, and high-pole cars
  • • Police escorts when required
  • • Utility coordination for wire lifts

What we handle

Route surveys

Pre-trip surveys for height, weight, turns, detours, and timing windows to keep permits accurate.

Escort planning

Lead/chase, high-pole, and police escorts matched to state rules and your dimensions.

Compliance notes

Axle spacings, bridge checks, curfews, and construction—documented before dispatch.

Oversize and superloads needing escorts

We front-load permits, surveys, escorts, and driver instructions so day-of execution is predictable.

Over-height freight requiring wire or signal clearance

We front-load permits, surveys, escorts, and driver instructions so day-of execution is predictable.

Heavy machinery with multi-axle RGN requirements

We front-load permits, surveys, escorts, and driver instructions so day-of execution is predictable.

Port and project moves with curfews or police

We front-load permits, surveys, escorts, and driver instructions so day-of execution is predictable.

Pilot cars & escorts

Match escort level to the route.

Lead, chase, high-pole, and police escorts deployed per state thresholds. We share the plan with your team and driver.

  • • High-pole for wire and signal clearance
  • • Police escorts when triggered by weight/route
  • • Utility scheduling when clearances are tight

Route survey outputs

Turns, bridge notes, curfews, construction detours, and contact list for escorts, utilities, and site.

FAQ

Routing & escorts FAQ

When is a route survey required?

When height approaches utility clearances, bridge reviews are triggered, axle spacings need engineering, or turns/curfews make the path tight.

What escorts are needed for heavy haul?

Private escorts for most oversize, police escorts for certain weights or sensitive infrastructure, and utility escorts when wire lifts or line drops are likely.

Which pilot cars do you launch?

Lead, chase, high-pole, and route survey vehicles based on state rules and your load profile.

How long do permits and surveys take?

Straightforward oversize permits can turn in 1–3 days. Superloads with surveys, police, and utilities can take a week or more. We share timelines up front.

Do you keep UTMs and campaign data?

Yes. We preserve UTM and gclid/wbraid/gbraid parameters through the quote flow for accurate attribution.
