What extreme weather conditions does a driver face?

Escorting an oversized transport is about much more than flashing amber lights and direction. A driver is often faced with extreme weather conditions: windstorms, dense fog, torrential rain or freezing rain - all real hazards.

In windy conditions, for example, high loads are at serious risk from sideways jerking, so the whole operation may have to be postponed. The same applies to fog and snow: if visibility is poor, the risk is too high.

The FlashCars escorts protect not only the cargo, but also the entire traffic - warning drivers, suggesting alternative routes or, if necessary, immediately pulling the convoy over.

Because you can't bargain with the weather - but you can prepare for it, with experience, awareness and a quick response.

Oversized shipments are a challenge not only because of size or weight, but also because they often have to meet timeframes that are set in stone. In many cases, permits are issued for specific times - for example, at night when traffic is lighter. In such cases, bridge closures, overhead power line shutdowns or police patrols are also strictly timed.
