Escort Operations

From the permit office to the delivery gate, TrukLyfe runs every phase of the escort operation. We don't cut corners — we've seen what happens when someone does.

🛣️
Route Surveying

Live, in-field route surveys documenting overhead clearances, bridge restrictions, railroad crossings, canopy hazards, skinny bridges, sharp curves, and every condition that could affect a safe passage. Field-verified data, documented to the tenth of a mile — no assumptions, no desk surveys.

Hi-Pole Lead

We run the hi-pole ahead of tall loads to physically verify overhead clearance at power lines, signal wires, bridges, and underpasses in real time. If something's too low, we catch it before the load does. That's the whole point.

Hi-Pole Certified
🚗
Lead Pilot Car

We run point ahead of the load, coordinating with law enforcement, clearing intersections, managing traffic, and guiding the driver through every tight spot and problem area. The lead sets the tone for the whole move.

Rear Escort (Chase)

Our chase unit holds down the back, controls following traffic, signals lane changes, and keeps the load protected from the rear. Nothing comes up on that trailer without us knowing about it and handling it.

Permit Review & Planning

We review your permits against the actual route, flag any conflicts before you leave the yard, and coordinate multi-state moves from start to finish. We know how the paperwork needs to match what's on the ground.

Full Document Packages

Survey reports, lead pilot packets, rear escort packets, driver field cards — everything your crew needs to run the move safely and professionally. Bilingual driver cards available in English and Spanish for driver teams.

Eric Franklin
Professional Oversize Load Escort & Route Survey Specialist

I built TrukLyfe from the ground up because I know what it takes to move heavy iron safely across multiple states. I've been out on that road — in the lead, running chase, sitting in the hi-pole, walking bridge decks and ducking canopy. This isn't a desk operation. When TrukLyfe's name is on a survey or an escort, I stand behind every mile of it.

We serve carriers, trucking companies, permit agencies, and logistics operators who need a professional escort team that gets it right — not just a warm body in a pilot car.

Shortcuts. Ever.
Our Standard Every route survey is a live field document — not a Google Maps printout. Every escort is run by certified, experienced operators who know what to look for and how to handle it when something goes sideways. That's the TrukLyfe standard on every single job.

From First Call
to Final Gate

1
Contact & Load Review

You give us the load specs, corridor, and permit details. We review dimensions, restrictions, and any known problem areas on the route.

2
Field Route Survey

We drive the route in person. Every overhead, every narrow bridge, every railroad crossing gets documented with actual clearances and field notes — not estimates.

3
Document Package

Survey report, lead and chase packets, and driver cards are built out and delivered. Your whole team knows the route before the truck moves.

4
Escort Execution

We roll with your load — hi-pole up front if needed, lead clearing the way, chase holding the rear. We run it clean from the yard to the gate.

Multi-State
Corridor Coverage

We operate across the Southeast and beyond, with deep working knowledge of Gulf Coast, mid-South, and mid-Atlantic corridors. No stranger roads — we know the routes we run.
