16. Abstract This student training manual is the companion document for the Pilot/Escort Vehicle Operator (P/EVO) Training Course. The manual is designed to prepare individuals to fulfill pilot/escort duties safely and effectively. It includes an overview of the pilot/escort industry, requirements for P/EVOs and their vehicles, procedures for escorting oversize loads, elements of route planning, issues of driver safety, and many important related topics. It further promotes and facilitates understanding of the regulations, duties, and responsibilities of P/EVOs and provides practical information on such issues as safe maneuvering and vehicle positioning, typically required equipment and its uses, and examples of the substantial variance in rules governing P/EVOs from State to State. |
