When Are Pilot Cars Needed in Wyoming?

Length: If a shipment is over 110′ long, you will require 1 front and one rear pilot car (escort). 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. Overhang: No specified limits.  This is something they like to see for themselves at the ports.  If your load is secure and safe looking but not too long overall and has flags/amber lights, then you will possibly not be required to have a pilot car.
