Oversize Load Book
For HeavyHaul & Pilot Cars in the US
Oversize Load Book
2021 is HERE!
Our Vision.
As a working pilot car driver in 2013, I had become more & more frustrated at the lack of updated public information for our industry. With the knowledge of graphic design & layout, along with a working knowledge of the industry, I set out to create a better reference guide - with more information than ever before.
Since 2014, I published the first of 5 annual editions; and in 2018, a 2-year edition. The books have been test-titled as Overload Assistant, Overload Companion & Overload 411. I've permanently named the book Overload 411; as it has evolved to contain more information in one publication than any other book in the industry!
I hope this book helps you in your heavy-haul or pilot car business - because, frankly, it's all about knowledge, safety & updated information at your fingertips! We now offer it in Kindle version as well as the printed version - Easily Readable Print!! - Freda Booth, Publisher -
