Escort vehicle Explanation: Escort vehicle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search An escort vehicle is an automobile used to escort trucks with large loads, convoys of large vehicles, guide motorists through construction sites, and assist aircraft in taxiing from the runway to the tarmac at many airports. [edit] Oversize vehicle escorts Escort vehicles will typically take positions directly in front and behind the truck or convoy being escorted. For overwidth or overheight trucks one escort vehicle will ride several miles ahead of the truck to ensure the road ahead can accommodate the truck's oversize dimensions.[citation needed] This lead vehicle is usually equipped with a long pole that extends upward from the front bumper; its length can be adjusted to match the height of the truck or the tallest vehicle in a convoy.[citation needed] If the pole strikes any overhanging objects such as bridges, overhead signs, or power lines, the truck or convoy can be alerted and stopped long before an accident occurs. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 Min.
