CB Communication during Oversize load?

It is basic communication. Left lane clear, right lane clear. I have the left lane for you, I have the right lane for you, 18 wheeler coming up, pull over the load just fell off. A good pilot car doesn't waste time with jibber jabber. I have already had talks with guys because they yapped too much. I have already fired a pole car and a rear escort at the same time because they spent most of a day arguing with each other.

 

Can he understand Stop and cleared the turn.. then he will be golden..

 

Shouldn't need a pilot at 12'

These two posts. Dad doesn't have to be fluent in English, he just needs to understand key words. Most of what he will hear is "18 coming up." When you're running up the 4 lane, pilot will be in the rear (in the front on a 2 lane...front car is more challenging for a pilot car). If the pilot car can't understand dad, you give instruction to both dad and the escort. Turn off the beacon lights on the trailer and have dad signal with the turn signals when he needs to switch lanes.

"Why turn off the trailer beacons, Six?"

Blinds the rear car to your turn signals. That way, the only flashing light he sees are the turns. He should be able to react faster.

You do in certain states on the 2 lane. Better do your homework before bidding.

 

He will also need to be able to tell the rear pilot to grab the other lane or hold a lane for a turn. does not sound long so may not need that one.

Some things he will need to tell the pilots before leaving like not using pilot slang....

4 pack= 4 wheeler
6 pack= 6 wheel vehicle
4 pack with a tag= 4 wheeler with a trailer
18 pack= semi

Depending on the state you also will probably need to add extendable mirrors to the truck.

 

"REAR VISIBILITY REQUIRED."

Usually, anything about rear visibility, either on the permit or listed in the state provisions.

 

I think the obvious answer is just find a pilot that speaks the same language as your father, there are a lot of pilot car drivers out there....
