VII. ASSIGNMENT CONCLUSION/POST-TRIP ACTIVITIES

Once the load is delivered, parked, and secure, the pilot/escort vehicle operators (P/EVO) has important tasks remaining. These include immediate duties related to the escort vehicle itself, such as turning off lights and removing flags, but several other post-trip activities, covered in the next section, are critical to improve safety and efficiency in oversize load movement over the long haul.

A. IMMEDIATE POST-TRIP DUTIES

  1. Turn off warning light(s).
  2. Remove or cover Oversize Load sign and remove flags and height pole.
  3. Record vital data (termination point, date/time, delivery paperwork, vehicle mileage).
