Width: If a shipment is over 14′ in the width you will be required to have 1 front and 1 rear pilot car (escort).
Height: It all depends on the proposed routing.  If the height of the load exceeds 15′ you will “probably” be required to have a front high pole escort but not positively. If height is 17′ you will more than likely be required to have a high pole escort in the front of the load.   Call and speak with them directly for clarification.
Weight: Check with the Wyoming port of to see if your weight class will require a pilot car/escort.
