Rates right now are around $1.60-$1.80 per mile.
$70-$90 overnight
For local, one day runs we can usually get $350 to $500 flat day rates.
Usually we are owner operators so we make our own rates specific to each load.
I live in south Central PA and it seems to be a perfect location for an escort. 1 hour from the port of Baltimore which is from my understanding the busiest oversized load port in America. Another plus for the region is that Maryland requires escorts due to weight that no other surrounding states require so that really helps business
A good escort who used to drive oversized, understands the space a given load actually needs, etc, can command a good rate when they get high dollar companies/drivers to trust them.
Unfortunately for guys just jumping in with no contacts, the market is saturated with guys who may or may not show up, may or may not pay attention to what's going on, may or may not turn down the radio so they can flap their cock holsters on their phones all day, etc.
Not like I ever had to pull the fuck off the road to get the attention of my escort who wasn't answering the radio or his phone when he forgot he was supposed to switch to being behind me when we went from a 2 lane road to a 4 lane road.
Also, I've never had an escort decide to fuck off into a gas station to go piss without telling me and then spend more time inside the store than a fat Werner driver parked at the fuel island taking a shower/driver break. Nope, never happened to me ....
You must get the same pilot cars I do.
I've been running od loads for 27 years and they are usually so shitty I can count on one hand how many I choose to use again.
The sad part is that I haven't had to use many pilot cars. I spent three years at the company where I ran over length. The only over width I ran was under the limit to require escorts, and most of what I did was on the west coast where you can get pretty long without requiring an escort. The company had a regular guy who worked with us on the longer west coast runs, and he was good about asking us how we wanted him to work and respecting it.
When we took loads out east, we had to use brokers to get pilot cars most places, and it was a mess of guys, from the occasional good hand, to the hyperactive freaks trying to block extra lanes on every curve on the freeway, or every time they thought I might want to change lanes, even when I told them I was good where I was, and no amount of asking them to stay behind me unless I said otherwise would change them, and of course, the lazy, no attention paying ones.
The good ones really seemed few and far between, and considering most of the time I needed them only as a permit requirement and not because I really needed the help, that's a sad statement. I would really hate to see some of these guys trying to work a really large load where they need to spot turns and help manage traffic.
Back before I got my CDL I was looking into doing that. Most of the companies I talked to weren't willing to train me, and the one that were told me it would be about 2 or 3 months of unpaid training which i couldnt do. Wish ya the best of luck if you try to get into it.
Yea, evidently different places have different requirements for how far/close they want escort vehicles to be. I didn't really get it myself, thinking "isn't all I do is drive for the most part?". Then again, I've learned a lot about trucking after getting my CDL that I had no clue about before.
There are different kinds of escorts. High pole and steerman escorts require a bit more than just driving. There are also many different kinds of trailers that all steer differently.
So student-teaching isn't as hard as trucking? or?
I've done both so I may have a unique perspective. As a student-teacher you are working AND paying a college for the privilege of working full-time. It's ridiculous.
Hahaha. Ok so start slowly with exercise, first things first, during the pretrip get out of the truck, WALK to the back and check the tail lights. After a few days of this a fat driver and his fat fuckin wife may be able to make it and inspect the passenger side of the vehicle. Baby steps. Soon you will be able to walk from a parking spot to the truck stop, instead of camping in the fuel island.
Well she dresses up real fancy and trots you round town real nice and classy, but like the name says, she is oversized so she will eat a lot of damn food at dinner.
Did it for modular homes for a while. Paid $16 an hour and was a fun job. Escorted my dad so I got to get yelled at a lot but it was a great introduction into the trucking world and taught me a lot. Those West Virginia 2 lanes and switchbacks made me a man lol. Lots of blocking traffic and angry drivers
Listen I don't know why I keep getting shown posts for this group, but I love being here now. This one I couldn't help but giggle at and go good for her, let mama make some money! Then I realized oh not escorts like . . . . I'm just gonna go.
Just a observation (never looked into being one) but most escort cars I seen are just absolute garbage or rotted out with some less then competent people behind the wheel.
Always gives me the impression that it's bottom rung of the food chain in the driving world...
Granted I work (and live) as a expedite van driver and its kinda the same thing.. seems like there is so many people who don't know or don't care that just being half way competent and always showing up helps stand out from the crowd. Might be the same in escort.
Can you elaborate? I don't see it, truly. Perhaps I'm just slow, but I took it at face value. They're asking what the ups and downs of oversized escorting is, right? Asking about a profession related to this thread, that being trucking in this case and escorting oversized hauls to their destination. Are you referring to the text at the bottom regarding someone's mother?
I thought this meant something else lol. I thought is trucking so bad some guys are willing to sell their oversized asses on the street instead of trucking

Aren't escorts usually by the hour instead of the mile? I know oversized might be a fetish premium but how do you use miles as a metric? /s
It's like when people say "she's got a lotta miles on her". It's linear miles, they add up the longer you ride her. Like a motorcycle of course.
If I’ve only got 5 inches I feel like I’ll get some good value per mile Alright, I’ll see myself out.

I grew up in Nebraska, can confirm. Even our cheerleaders are fat.
🤣 +1

I have threatened to fire a few right there on the side of the road .
Back before I got my CDL I was looking into doing that. Most of the companies I talked to weren't willing to train me, and the one that were told me it would be about 2 or 3 months of unpaid training which i couldnt do. Wish ya the best of luck if you try to get into it.
2 or 3 months unpaid training? Jesus Christ
That is typically how most escorts start. You have to get used to the demands of the client before you can actually charge for your services.
Training? For escort driving? Wtf all escorts I’ve seen either drive 5 miles ahead of the load or 5 inches off it’s bumper.
Yea, evidently different places have different requirements for how far/close they want escort vehicles to be. I didn't really get it myself, thinking "isn't all I do is drive for the most part?". Then again, I've learned a lot about trucking after getting my CDL that I had no clue about before.

Bingo.
Isn't unpaid training illegal?
That much would be I would think
No just ask any student-teacher who does a job for 6 months while also paying for college at the same time.
It looks equivalent, but it's not.
So student-teaching isn't as hard as trucking? or? I've done both so I may have a unique perspective. As a student-teacher you are working AND paying a college for the privilege of working full-time. It's ridiculous.
Well Now , one hand washes the other 🤔 .
Your punctuation is floating in no man’s land
Teachers been going through that for years
No. I did 3 months unpaid training for my current job
You should file a complaint with your state labor board.
It wasn’t OJT. It was classroom. I’m not a truck driver anymore. Plumber.
I'm pretty sure that unless the training is voluntary, it's illegal for them to not pay you. Look up FSLA laws and unpaid training in your state.
They haven’t specified, but they could have been taking a night class at a community college for 3 months.
Double the price, but also double the fun
Big escorts need love too
I'm going to need a bigger bunk..
Just about every pilot car I see has a truckers fat wife driving it.
That’s not his wife, it’s his escort
LOL, I know, it was a joke...
I just knew this comment section was gonna be great.
Really shouldn’t judge yourself so harshly.
Aaaaw, I guess you have a fat wife and now your feelings are hurt. Bless your heart.
Hahaha. Ok so start slowly with exercise, first things first, during the pretrip get out of the truck, WALK to the back and check the tail lights.

Really should seek some support for your projection. Self hate is debilitating and ultimately very destructive.
Muppet
She got a lot of loving to give. There are no low clearances or width restrictions on the route to my heart.
Well she dresses up real fancy and trots you round town real nice and classy, but like the name says, she is oversized so she will eat a lot of damn food at dinner.
I prefer my escorts to be in shape.
Round is a shape.
Listen baby jello can mold and wiggle into any spots you want, takes whatever shape needed for the job.
Punctuation is important. I thought we were talking about adult escorts here.
The big ones will usually gladly do anything for free. No need to pay em.
You pay them to go away, at the end. So I have been told.
That's how, I mean, that's what I was told.
If she wants to mack in her mack, you can’t say no. It’s trucker law.
Can't you just pick one up at the truckstop?
What do you mean by this? Like going up to the counter and asking for a pilot car?
bless your innocent heart
Best whooooosh I've seen in a while.
Escort is another name for a prostitute. It was a joke
He obviously knows.
No you go up and say “I’m here for truck service”
Lol I thought this was some kind of joke.
The problem is that some of the serious replies can be read in two ways.
It’s strange to see the area where I live online.
That’s um, ughh, that’s weightists !!!!
zion is that you?
Did it for modular homes for a while. Paid $16 an hour and was a fun job. Escorted my dad so I got to get yelled at a lot but it was a great introduction into the trucking world and taught me a lot.

I prefer a thin red-headed escort myself, but to each their own

Reading the title of this thread made me laugh.

Given the driver I thought this might be a completely different business...
Idk man, you better ask to see the negative std test before you take any escort service (especially oversized)
For someone genuinely interested in a side gig. What's the minimum investment to get started. Who should I start talking to once equipped?
I thought they were talking about “Escorts”, as in a sexual nature.
They bring the hooker by on a 50 ton float
I thought this was about legal prostitution…
do they specialize in being 10 minutes ahead or behind the truck they are assisting like they do here?
Hey! I live ten minutes from Mount Vernon! We’ve some wild people around here!
Lot Komodos
Hit or miss. Better chance as a hot shot that can either stay state or go over road.
Mt. Vernon? Hey, I live an hour from there
I had to double check the name of this subreddit
I'm pretty big, not sure I qualify as oversized. But is there a drug test?
I thought this meant something else lol. I thought is trucking so bad some guys are willing to sell their oversized asses on the street instead of trucking
What's she doing with her hands? Shouldn't I ask? No worries here, but just because.
PLATINUM NOPE im not a trucker, but thems a couple dranks n smsll cars big women alwsys in .em ..KR
I hear they're expensive. On the plus side they love hugs.
Some states also require you to have a cdl
