Load Piloting
Les Harrison Transport provides certified escort vehicles and trained drivers to guide overdimension or overweight loads on New Zealand public roads.
Pilot work follows Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency) rules. A pilot is required if a vehicle or load is over 3.1 metres wide during darkness, or travels at speeds over 40 km/h.
Pilot vehicles stay in radio contact with the heavy haulage driver from dispatch to delivery.
