Transporting oversized or heavy equipment across long distances involves more than just horsepower—it requires expertise, coordination, and a strong focus on safety. That’s where the collaboration between ODS North America and Heavy Haulers makes a difference. These two companies often work together to help ensure that large and oversize loads are moved efficiently and in full compliance with state, provincial, and federal regulations.
Together, they bring years of industry experience to the table. Heavy Haulers handles the heavy-duty logistics—moving everything from construction machinery to industrial equipment—while ODS North America arranges professional pilot car drivers to escort those shipments and maintain safety on the road. They work together to deliver peace of mind to clients transporting large freight throughout the United States and Canada.
What Does a Pilot Car Do?
Before diving deeper into how these two companies work together, it’s important to understand the role of a pilot car. Also known as an escort vehicle, a pilot car travels in front of or behind an oversize load to guide it through the route safely. These vehicles alert nearby drivers, monitor road conditions, and help trucks navigate narrow roads, sharp turns, bridges, and low-clearance areas.
Pilot car drivers also play a critical role in reducing the risk of accidents. They serve as extra eyes and ears on the road, ensuring that everything moves smoothly from pickup to delivery. These professionals are trained, certified, and knowledgeable about the specific rules that apply in each jurisdiction they travel through.
