Owner-operated, based in Gooding, Idaho, serving Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, and Montana. Call (208) 924-3720 to discuss your run.
Lead Car Escort
Forward-running pilot car ahead of the load — scouting traffic, road hazards, narrow bridges, and clearance issues before they reach the load.
Chase Car Escort
Rear protection on highway and interstate work — buffer between the load and following traffic, with full lighting, signage, and two-way radio.
Route Surveys
Pre-run reconnaissance for oversize loads — clearance verification, turn radius checks, bridge weight limits, and alternate route planning before the load commits.
Oversize Load Escort
Wide, tall, over-length, and overweight loads. DOT-compliant equipment, proper signage, banners, and amber lighting. State pilot car certifications carried.
High-Pole Escort
Via NetworkCalibrated height-pole work for tall loads. We don’t run a high-pole rig directly — we coordinate this through trusted operators in our pilot car network.
