In many cities, countries, large convoys, are required to escort heavy hauls, including industrial equipment, heavy hauls, and large containers, to ensure safe transportation and minimize disruptions to traffic. However, these regulations can complex and vary based on the area. Operators and companies operating oversized loads must thoroughly comply these regulations to avoid penalties, incidents, and other serious risks.
Requirements for Escort Vehicles
---------------------------
To comply with regulations, drivers must know the standards for escort vehicles. These typically include:
- A minimumnumber of safety vehicles, such as a convoy of 5 vehicles for loads exceeding a particular weight threshold
- Operators for each escort vehicle must be trained and elite companions certified as mandated by the local authorities.
