Put the information together
- Provide loaded dimensions, route and any lane-encroachment concerns for escort review.
- Confirm front, rear, height-pole and police requirements separately; they perform different functions.
- Coordinate credentials, equipment, communications and meeting locations before pickup.
What to confirm
An escort does not turn a planning route into an approved route. Read the conditions on each permit, including restrictions affecting escorted travel. Ask for a separate service estimate rather than treating escort cost as part of a state's permit fee.
Keep one current shipment record
- Record the final measurements and the person confirming them.
- Keep the proposed route and intended movement date with the load details.
- Recheck the plan when a material shipment detail changes.
Start with the applicable state guide
