Pilot Car TMS

Pilot Car Manager and TMS for Escort Businesses

Route-Guardian pilot car management software and pilot escort software helps escort vehicle businesses, pilot car companies, and dispatchers manage oversize load escorts — customers, escort loads and trips, driver management, vehicles, scheduling, route sharing, mileage, BOL and POD management, invoices, payment tracking, and business reporting.

Feature Overview

Pilot Car TMS is built for escort operations — not carrier fleet management.

Pilot Car TMS Dashboard

Dedicated workspace for loads, dispatch, drivers, vehicles, mileage, and settings.

Load & Dispatch Management

Create loads, assign escorts, track status, and run conflict checks before drivers roll.

Escort Driver Management

Manage escort drivers with lead, chase, height-pole, and route-survey capabilities.

Pilot Car Vehicle Management

Track pilot car units, height-pole equipment, and vehicle status across your fleet.

Assignment & Conflict Checks

See scheduling conflicts before you assign drivers and vehicles to a load.

Mileage Records

Record escorted, deadhead, and reposition miles tied to loads and drivers.

Driver Accept / Decline

Escort drivers can accept or decline assignments from their workspace.

Team Access Controls

Owner, dispatcher, driver, and office roles with permission boundaries.

Desktop, Tablet & Mobile

Run dispatch from the office and let drivers respond from the field.

FAQ

Is Pilot Car TMS the same as Fleet TMS?

No. Fleet TMS is for carriers and heavy-haul fleets. Pilot Car TMS is for escort and pilot car companies.

Do I need Fleet TMS to use Pilot Car TMS?

No. Pilot Car TMS is a standalone product with its own account type and billing.

Is the Pilot Car Load Board included?

The Load Board is a separate product area. You can use both from one Route-Guardian login after sign-in.

Do I need a motor carrier MC number?

No. USDOT and MC numbers are optional during signup because many pilot car businesses are not motor carriers.
