J&D Logistics provides pilot car services for qualifying oversized and specialized freight. We coordinate route support for local, regional, and long-distance transportation, helping drivers navigate challenging routes and keep specialized loads moving safely and efficiently toward their destination.
Moving oversized or specialized freight requires more than getting the load from one location to another. Route requirements, roadway conditions, traffic, and load dimensions all need to be considered before and during the move. J&D Logistics provides pilot car services to support the safe and organized transportation of qualifying oversized and specialized loads.
Our team helps coordinate pilot car support based on the requirements of the shipment, route, and transportation plan. Whether your freight is traveling locally, regionally, or across state lines, we help provide the support needed to keep the move progressing toward its destination.
Oversized freight can require additional planning and coordination that standard shipments do not. Pilot cars help provide advance awareness of roadway conditions, traffic, and potential obstacles along the route.
