The Road Pilot & Escort Industry is currently going through some major changes and will take a few years to complete these changes.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR or The Regulator) came into effect on the 21st January 2014, their job is to Harmonise the Heavy Transport Industry and that is to bring into line all the regulations in every state who signs up to the agreement.
Currently every State has different requirements for Oversize, Overmass Loads (OSOM) and Accreditation of Pilot/Escort Drivers, this is currently under consideration and a standardised Accreditation System will be put into place in the very near future.
Until this happens, the current state regulations remain in force. Click on the following link to view the State & Territory requirements
