Owner-operated pilot car support for heavy haul transport.
I'm Gil, and I run Arizona Pilot Car Service out of El Mirage, just outside Phoenix. I provide reliable pilot car support for heavy haul transportation throughout the Valley of the Sun, including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, and Surprise.
I started in 2018. Veteran-owned and owner-operated — one pilot vehicle, and I'm the one driving it on every job. Read more about the role of pilot cars and escort vehicle operators.

I run one vehicle and I take one load at a time — lead vehicle, chase vehicle, height pole, and route surveys. I'm not a broker, and I don't dispatch or hire other pilot cars.
I'm one vehicle and one operator. When you book me, I'm the one who shows up and runs your load start to finish. That also means I'm not a pilot car broker — I don't dispatch other drivers, I don't sub your move out to anybody, and I'm not hiring.
If your load needs two or more escorts, a pilot car outside the Phoenix area, or a date I'm already booked, call Pro Oversize. They coordinate multi-car escorts and can put the right number of vehicles on your load.
To meet and exceed industry standards, I carry the tools and equipment required by federal and state pilot vehicle regulations. Learn more about pilot car insurance requirements and communications equipment.

My job is straightforward: dependable, meticulous, professional escort work that keeps your move on schedule.
If you landed here to learn the business rather than book a move: I wrote 270 pages on what escort work pays, what it costs to start, what every state expects of your vehicle, and the paperwork that decides whether you get paid. Sourced and cited, by an operator still running loads.
