PILOT CAR CERTICATION INFORMATION

 

Thank you for your interest in pilot car operations in the State of Colorado.  Pilot car operators are required to be certified.  Currently, Colorado is not offering the test for certification as we move forward to enhance our program.  Our goal is to offer our first class by late-August, 2007.  To assist the industry, we will accept certifications from Florida, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Washington.  (Below please find the contact information for these states.)

 

To pilot escort in Colorado, you must have the following documents – contact our office to request items 2-5:

 

  1. A valid Colorado, Florida, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia or Washington certification
  2. CDOT Rules & Regulations Booklet (tan book)
  3. Pilot Escort & Oversize Map
  4. Height Restriction Map
  5. Bridge Weight Limit Map
  6. Proof of insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 combined single limit coverage.  The proof must show that the insurance covers Pilot Escort Operations.
