Safe & Successful Truss Delivery with NEGA Pilot Escort Vehicles
Delivering trusses isn’t like hauling a standard load. Their extreme length and awkward overhang make them one of the most challenging items to move on Georgia’s roads. Without the right escort support, carriers risk compliance issues, costly delays, and even safety hazards.
At NEGA Pilot Escort Vehicles, we specialize in helping truss builders and carriers deliver safely and on time. Here’s an inside look at a recent truss delivery we supported.
The Challenge
A building supply company in Northeast Georgia needed to deliver 70-foot roof trusses to a residential construction site. The route included:
Narrow two-lane roads with limited shoulder space
Multiple intersections with low-hanging wires
A final delivery into a subdivision with tight turns and parked vehicles
The client was concerned about navigating obstacles without damaging the trusses or causing safety issues in the neighborhood.
The Approach
NEGA PEVO prepared by:
Pre-driving the route to spot hazards like sharp turns and overhead obstructions.
Assigning both a lead escort and rear escort to manage traffic flow.
Using high-visibility signage, flags, and radios to maintain constant communication.
Coordinating with the driver to signal turns and lane shifts in advance.
The Move
During transport, the trusses’ long overhang created blind spots and clearance risks. Our rear pilot car handled traffic management, warning drivers before they got too close. The lead escort helped the driver navigate intersections and ensured the truck cleared all turns safely.
At the subdivision entrance, our team temporarily stopped neighborhood traffic and guided the driver through a tight corner without damage to the load.
The Results
Zero incidents during transport
On-time delivery of all trusses to the job site
A satisfied construction company that has since booked NEGA PEVO for repeat truss deliveries
Final Thoughts
Truss deliveries require more than just a truck and trailer — they need experienced escorts who understand the unique risks of long, overhanging loads. At NEGA PEVO, we combine local knowledge, compliance expertise, and clear communication to ensure your trusses arrive safely every time.
