The State of Alabama does not currently require certification for the pilot car drivers who escort ; oversize/overweight vehicles.

Proposed modified text for the Rules & Regulations has ; been prepared in consultation with ALDOT Permits Office personnel. ; • Compile a Truckers Guide educates truckers about the permit requirements and pilot car requirements for ; oversize/overweight loads, in addition to other trucking issues. This 28-page booklet has been completed. ; • Submit an implementation plan and budget to ALDOT for a pilot car driver certification course. A ; proposal has been submitted and funded that encompasses preparing training materials and teaching the ; first sessions of the course.
