About Us
D&M Pilot Car Service LLC began in 2018 as a mother-and-son operation with deep roots in the trucking industry. Mary and Dan spent decades behind the wheel as professional truck drivers before transitioning into pilot car work.
Mary stepped away from long-haul driving to be closer to home and gain more flexibility, while Dan still wanted to stay connected to the road. When a genetic heart condition prevented him from passing a CDL physical, escorting oversize loads became the closest alternative that kept him in the industry he loved.
What started as two people who knew the job inside and out has grown steadily. Today, D&M employs a team of experienced drivers, supported by Davey, the Training Coordinator who assists Dan with driving operations, and Brittany, the Office Manager who helps Mary oversee scheduling, communication, and day-to-day workflow. The same standards remain in place: safety first, clear communication, and reliable escort support for every mile.
Whether we’re running the route ourselves or coordinating vetted escorts through our brokerage network, we bring the same mindset that built our business from the start — do it right, stay steady, and take care of the drivers and the load.
