Nationwide Transport Services will provide safe, timely, oversized load hauling services if your load meets the above criteria.

Pilot Car Regulations in Delaware
We ensure that our pilot cars comply with the Delaware regulations on escort cars. Regulations cover licensing a vehicle for use as a pilot car and its operation when escorting oversized loads. Escort cars must be single-unit vehicles, no smaller than compact cars, and should not be attached to any other vehicle during operation. Oversized hauling trucks and pilot cars must have low run beam lights on during operation and amber lights during nighttime travel. The amber lights must be attached to the widest point of the piece being moved and visible from at least 500 feet away.
Oversized loads can challenge anyone looking to move them from one point to another. The employment of a professional pilot car service provider like us is undoubtedly invaluable. Our years of experience from all Delaware terrains guarantee you seamless transit. We offer all our clients a unique tailoring of services to suit their requirements. Our logistics team is always ready to discuss your transport shipping upon your request.
