    Com Data had one. Don't know if they still do.
    Most of the ones we got thru them seemed to be 3rd or 4th stringers. Just saying.

    And they will be included in my book, "Escorts from H**L".
    That I will be writing in 5 years when I retire.

    I'm thinking pilot car might be good gig. Lower overhead. I have some OS/OD experience. Never used an escort. But you could work when you want???? Com data I will look at that.

    ODS North America is a pilot car broker. They are based in Canada but work all over North America. I use them a fair bit.

    People throw out like 1.5 or 2 dollars a mile. But, is there work to be had? How long are runs? Idk. But I like the idea of working when I want kind of like the OO thing. Can you do it just by yourself? Or do really need two cars to make it work.
