A Successful Oversize Move in Georgia
When it comes to oversize loads, every mile matters. From securing permits to navigating tricky turns, a pilot car service can be the difference between a smooth haul and a costly delay. At NEGA Pilot Escort Vehicles, we pride ourselves on delivering safe, compliant, and efficient service. Here’s a real-world example of how local knowledge and professionalism made all the difference.
The Challenge
A regional construction company needed to transport a large piece of heavy equipment through Northeast Georgia. The load was overlength and overwidth, requiring both a front and rear escort. The route passed through several small towns with low-hanging traffic signals, narrow bridges, and ongoing road construction.
The client’s main concerns were:
Staying compliant with GDOT oversize permit requirements
Avoiding unexpected reroutes or fines
Keeping the move on schedule to meet a project deadline
The Approach
NEGA PEVO prepared by:
Conducting a route survey in advance to identify pinch points and hazards.
Equipping vehicles with proper signage, amber lights, flags, and two-way radios for constant communication.
Coordinating with the truck driver to set clear expectations and signals before departure.
Monitoring GDOT traffic advisories for last-minute changes.
The Move
On the day of transport, our local knowledge proved invaluable:
We guided the truck safely through a construction detour that could have caused hours of delay.
Our communication kept the driver prepared for tight turns and lane changes, ensuring smooth navigation through busy areas.
When traffic signals posed a clearance issue, we coordinated a safe approach and passage without incident.
The move was completed on time, without fines or accidents — saving the client both money and peace of mind.
The Results
Zero delays despite multiple potential obstacles
Full compliance with Georgia oversize permit requirements
Satisfied client who has since booked repeat moves with NEGA PEVO
