Pilot car software that runs the company and gets it found.
FleetLynk is pilot car software for both sides of an oversize load. Pilot car (also called escort vehicle) companies run their crew, vehicles, certifications and availability in one place and publish a listing. Carriers and permit offices find them by ZIP, state or location, then call or email them directly.

What is pilot car software?
FleetLynk’s pilot car tools serve the two companies on either side of an escort. A pilot car company keeps its profile, operators, vehicles, cards and insurance current and says when a crew is available. A carrier or permit office searches near the pickup, sees what FleetLynk checked, and calls the company it picks.
A pilot car company gets its own kind of FleetLynk account, with no trips or permits in it: the company, its people, its vehicles and its paperwork. Carriers and permit offices keep their own accounts and reach it through search.
Neither side sees the other’s records. A carrier sees only the listing the company chose to show, a blurred point instead of an exact location, and badges for what FleetLynk actually checked.

How does FleetLynk connect a pilot car company with a carrier?
FleetLynk connects them through the listing. The pilot car company fills in its profile and documents, FleetLynk reviews the listing, and from then on a carrier or permit office searching near a pickup sees the company with its services, its badges and whether a crew is available. The call that follows is between them.
- The company fills in Profile & listing: services, service states, base ZIP, travel radius and the phone or email carriers may see.
- It adds its operators and vehicles, and uploads each card and insurance policy for a person at FleetLynk to review.
- FleetLynk reviews each listing before it shows, and approves it or says what is missing.
- When a crew is free, Available now posts the company near where its phone is, shown to carriers as a blurred point.
- A carrier or permit office searching near the pickup finds the company, sees its badges and calls it.
- With the public switch on, the company also shows on its state’s page on fleetlynk.co.
How do pilot car companies manage crew, vehicles and certifications?
FleetLynk gives a pilot car company its own account with its own menu: Profile & listing, Operators, Vehicles, Certifications & insurance, Availability and a Dashboard. Only the owner or an admin changes anything; everyone else on the team can look. Each certification belongs to one operator, and each insurance policy to the company.

Business name, an About of up to 2,000 characters, base ZIP, USDOT, services and the states served.
Operators
Each person who drives escort for the company, with the cards they hold.
Vehicles

Certifications & insurance

How do carriers find a pilot car by ZIP or state?
In FleetLynk, anyone signed in opens Find pilot cars and searches by ZIP, by state or from their own location, 1–500 miles out. Filters narrow the results to the services a move needs, a card from a given state, a minimum auto insurance and the day. Only listings FleetLynk approved appear.
- Where
- a ZIP, a state or your own location
- How far
- 1–500 miles
- What
- lead car, chase car, height pole and the other services
- Who
- a card from a given state and a minimum auto insurance
- When
- the day of the move
- Saved
- up to 20 searches, with your own defaults
Results sit beside a map. A company with a crew posted nearby says so on its row, and its point on the map is blurred to about 3.5 miles, never its exact spot. Badges say only what FleetLynk checked: an insurance paper, a card, the phone number.
You keep up to 20 saved searches and your own default filters. On a permit office’s trip page, a button opens the search at the pickup on the pickup day. When you find the right company, you call or email it from its profile; nothing is arranged or paid inside FleetLynk.
What would the permits cost for a wide load?
Permigo, a permit company that runs on FleetLynk, has a public permit cost calculator. This link opens it with an example filled in: a 14-foot-wide load, Texas to Oklahoma. Change anything.
What does a public listing show?
A FleetLynk public listing puts a pilot car company on its state’s page on fleetlynk.co, but only once FleetLynk has approved the company and the company has switched the public directory on. The page shows what the company does and where; its phone, email and website stay for signed-in FleetLynk users.
Contact details typed into the About are hidden on the public page as well. A visitor who wants to call signs in first, and the company can switch the public page off at any time.

What FleetLynk doesn’t do. FleetLynk doesn’t arrange the escort or set its price, and no money passes between a carrier and a pilot car company through FleetLynk: the carrier calls the company it picks, and the two agree the job between them.
