Pilot Car and Oversize Load Escorts in Fort Macleod, Alberta

Every oversize load needs a plan for the road, and often a second vehicle to carry it out. Itty Bitty Piloting Service is a Fort Macleod, Alberta business led by Tracey Robertson that provides pilot truck and pilot car services for the carriers, contractors and farm and industrial operators who move wide, tall and heavy freight through southern Alberta. Fort Macleod sits at the junction of Highways 2 and 3 in the Oldman River valley, so it is a natural home base for escorts heading toward the Crowsnest Pass, Lethbridge, Calgary or the U.S. border.

The business lists local and long-distance piloting and states that it serves all across Canada and the USA. That means the same service is available for a short move between two yards in the Municipal District of Willow Creek as for a longer trip that crosses provincial or international lines.

Services Provided

• Pilot truck services for oversize and overweight loads
• Pilot car service in lead and trailing positions
• Oversize load escort services on highways and secondary roads
• Local piloting around Fort Macleod, Pincher Creek, Claresholm and Lethbridge
• Long-distance piloting across Canada and the USA

How a Pilot Vehicle Helps

The pilot vehicle travels ahead of or behind the load to give early warning of hazards and to let oncoming and following traffic know that something unusual is on the road. The pilot can spot low wires, narrow bridges, tight corners, roadwork and busy intersections in advance, and relay what they see to the truck driver by radio. On many routes this is a permit requirement, and it also makes the move safer and less stressful for everyone involved. Southern Alberta also sees strong crosswinds and fast-changing weather, so having a dedicated set of eyes on the route is especially valuable for large, high-sided loads.

• Farm machinery, grain bins and livestock handling equipment
