Thanks for cluing me into those reasons and tech. I didn’t realize a permit had to be issued for some rigs and loads. I have seen escorts for oversize vehicles, but they are not much further ahead or behind.

Could a pick-up with something like a whip antennae that’s the height of the load (or a couple of inches more) travel like a mile or so ahead and if it touches the overpass, a warning goes off in the vehicle and maybe even the carrier and escorts?

You can. If you speak good English and can communicate well with drivers it can be an interesting job. I moved oversized loads for 12 years but have been out of the business for 21 years. https://pilotcarloads.com/blog/certifications-and-training
