Chase Car Escort Services
Rear protection on every haul.
Chase car escort runs behind the load — buffering it from following traffic, warning vehicles approaching from the rear, and providing constant communication with the driver throughout the run. Magic Valley Piloting provides chase escort across Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, and Montana. Call (208) 924-3720.
What chase escort actually covers
Physical and visual barrier between the load and vehicles approaching from behind. Discourages tailgating, prevents close-call passes.
Amber strobes and “Oversize Load” banner give following drivers time to slow down and stay back.
Two-way radio with the load operator throughout. Calling out issues, traffic pressure from behind, anything the driver can’t see in mirrors.
When the load slows for hills, narrow sections, or curves, the chase car protects the rear so following traffic doesn’t pile up.
If the load has a mechanical issue, chase car immediately deploys flares/triangles and manages traffic until support arrives.
Holding the rear lane open during merges, exits, and lane changes the load needs to make.
