The cost depends on whether you want just one or if you want one in the rear! Having one in the rear is called a DP, or double patrol. A DP is not required but I would recommend it. Always start out in the slow lane if your first one in the rear because it prevents confusion. As you get more comfortable with the DP you can kick it up a notch and explore new things. Have fun but be careful and make sure to deliver the load.

Escorts are like $1.50-$2.00/mile

They are required for any load over 13'6" W x 90' L

Alabama requires an extra escort/police

If the truck requires and escort it's 1 per truck up to a certain size, then a second over that size. Then police over that size.

Each state has different requirements on permits and escorts.

While driving to work today I saw a truck with "maw and paw escort service" on the side of it. Obviously, it was following a larger truck with a mobile home on it.

What is the purpose of these types of trucks? The mobile home already had an "OVERSIZED LOAD" sign on it.

Also just out of curiosity, how much do these escorts make?



I think you got Flag Cars and Hookers mixed up.

Escorted permitted loads on the City Streets of New Orleans require NOPD motorcycle cops who are working it as a detail. They (the cops) require payment by blank check on the spot.

If your unit is too long, you need an escort. If your unit is too wide, you need an escort. If your load is just too damn big, you need an escort. If you want to take your load places it's normally not allowed, you need an escort. If you haven't moved your load for a long time, you may need multiple escorts. Any amount you pay an escort is strictly for their time being with you. Got it?
