Pilot Car Regulations in North Carolina
All U.S. states have transport regulations that dictate how large a vehicle can be
before a pilot car is required to guarantee safe transport. If you're new to
oversized transport, it can be hard to identify which rules apply to your specific
transport project, and it can be hard to keep track of what you need for an
effective North Carolina pilot car service. At Heavy Haulers, we've designed our
pilot car services to simplify your job by compiling all your necessary transport
needs into one easy-to-track delivery project. Our escort vehicle service provides
the requisite number of escort cars and drivers to ensure your shipment travels
through North Carolina 100 percent compliant with local transport regulations.
North Carolina regulations require at least one escort for all oversized shipments
traveling on multi-lane highways. A single pilot is required for anything over 12'
wide, 14'5" high, 110' long, an overhang longer than 14', or a GVW of more than
149,999 lbs. In cases where there is a combination of over-dimensions, more is
necessary. There are also different requirements for 16' wide mobile homes and
superload shipments, requiring up to three escorts for safe transit. Let’s get
