Author Description

From the creator of The Overload series, The Overload Companion & the Overload Assistant publications. Freda Booth, presents the 2025-26 update. Since 2014, we've continued to bring you the most varied information in any heavy-haul publication to date. This reference book is a compilation of published information from various publicly & privately owned sources. We just deliver it in one publication. This edition is bigger and better than ever before! I've separated the Truck Driver guide and the pilot car guide. This allowed more space to add better detailed information for you! What's Inside: STATE DOT PERMIT LIMITATIONS / GUIDELINES PILOT CAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT LIST & SUMMARIZED INFO SECTION: STATE REGULATIONS FOR TRUCK DRIVERS (When a pilot car escort is required; flagging, signs & lights requirements, curfews & restrictions) SECTION: STATE REGULATIONS FOR PILOT CARS (Certification, permits, insurance, sign placement, flags & light placements, etc) SECTION: PILOT CAR LISTS & DETAILED PHOTOS (all currently working as of the date of this publication) SECTION: TRUCK STOPS SIZE MEDIUM & UP SECTION: US REST AREAS BY STATE / HIGHWAYS SECTION: FORMS TO COPY / USE (PAGES NOT NUMBERED) ROAD CONDITIONS PHONE DIRECTORY STATE HWY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS RAILROAD EMERGENCY PHONE DIRECTORY TWIC INFORMATION Although I utilize official resources, laws can change at any given time. We do not profess to be the last word on any information within this book; therefore, any information contained within cannot be used as "official argument" in any litigation. The state-issued permit is specific to your load and designated route. It has the final word.
