We currently have 2 trucks up and going. I am 1 of the operators and owner.
I have 1 chevy silverado and a dodge ram.
Both trucks run with light bars, oversize racks , Galaxy 55 11 Meter Radios.
I am not cheap when it comes to talking to the driver and delivering the correct message loud and clear, no matter if its up close or a mile or two in front of the load. Safety and Communication is #1.
Both trucks have led light bars, although as seen in the pictures the silverado also has rotators.
Both trucks have Electronic Air Horns on them. The horn plays a very important roll when warning pedistrians and bikes on the shoulder. In our experience on the road honking the regular truck horn does not get bikes, walkers or runners attention so we took 1 step further and installed Electric Air Horns. Very effective and being a tool and only using when needed they are very affective.
Both trucks have 2 way portable radios with adapters for external cb radios for you know those drivers that dont provide cbs. Yes in 2019 there are drivers with no cbs (state of california State Law state 2 way communication between driver and pilot is the Law-Cell phones are NOT 2 way communication).
Also carry tools, flags banners, fire extinguishers, cones, triangles, flares, first aid kits, jacks, flashlights, hard hats, Type 3 reflective vests and pants, gloves, 18 inch stop slow paddle and much more.
Going into this business I was not shy on spending to be successful as to anyone should follow and do the same.
I have my 2 trucks , I am 1 of the drivers and I have a part time driver in my chevy.
I carry 1 million dollars of Commercial ins and if requested 1 million general liability.
All drivers a Certified Utah/Colorado and have Nevada Amber light permit.
We provide Lead and Chase and High Pole can be located but my trucks are not set up for high pole.
I have 6 independant pilots that work under me. Yes i am that busy. I have contact with approx 50 other pilots through out the US.
3 of my pilots are out for the long hauls and 3 i try to keep close to me.
I plan on having 4 trucks next year of my own and so on for the years after.
I hope you enjoy my pictures and my future blogs and please respond or ask questions.
Again Fairfield , Ca is my home base and office, but we take care of all of the Bay Area, Sacramento, Coastal areas, Pretty much everything and anytime Fresno North.
I keep in contact with some key pilot car drivers and I dont step on their toes nor do i take their companies. If you have a pilot company in Stockton Ca or Sacramento Ca i will not overstep my boundary with them.
