Cargo gauge
We evaluate the width, height and length the vehicle reaches together with the cargo in order to determine the escort need.
Planning inputs
What we review with your cargo when planning the escort accompaniment service
Route structure
We examine city passages, narrow roads, turns and traffic density as the basis of the accompaniment plan.
Passage hour
For safe progress, we include night passage or specific time ranges in the escort plan from the start.
Scope
In the escort accompaniment service, we safely guide out-of-gauge cargo along the route.
In the escort accompaniment service on Turkey-origin Europe and Balkan lines, we plan accompaniment vehicles that guide from the front or the rear so out-of-gauge and heavy cargo moves safely in traffic. The special cargo escort warns other drivers, guides through narrow passages and turns, and increases passage safety.
We address the escort need together with the permit process. By evaluating the cargo gauge, the route structure and the passage hours, we determine how many accompaniment vehicles are needed; we manage the escort plan as an inseparable part of the transport.
