Pilot Car, Oversize Load Escort & Flagging Services in Coaldale, Alberta

Pilot Car and Oversize Load Escort Services Based in Coaldale, Alberta

Moving an oversize or overweight load safely is a team effort, and the pilot vehicle is the part of that team that travels ahead of, or behind, the haul to keep everyone on the road informed and protected. Double L Pilot Services is a Coaldale, Alberta business owned and operated by Louis Liscumb, offering pilot truck and pilot car escorts for carriers, oilfield contractors, equipment dealers and anyone moving wide, long or tall freight through southern Alberta and beyond.

From a short local move between yards to a long-distance run that crosses provincial or international borders, the job of the pilot is the same: watch the route, warn oncoming traffic, communicate with the driver and help the load get where it is going without incident. Double L Pilot Services is listed as serving Canada and the USA, and runs both local and long-distance work.

Who Uses a Pilot Vehicle?

Permits for oversize loads commonly require one or more escort vehicles depending on the width, height and length of the load and the route being travelled. Trucking companies hauling modular buildings, bridge girders, farm and construction machinery, wind-energy components, oilfield equipment and heavy industrial freight rely on pilot services to meet those permit conditions and to keep drivers focused on the road ahead. Because requirements differ between provinces and states, it is always worth confirming the details of your permit when you book an escort.
