Pilot Car Dispatch won the Golden Web Award again for   2001-2002

Here it is Drivers.... The most requested information I get is on Certification, so you may wish to print this issue or save it.... The States that require Certification are Colorado, Florida, Kansas, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Washington. I have included the states that require Amber Light Permits, stickers/state requirements for the escort vehicle... Georgia, Louisiana, New Mexico and Nevada. ( This should help guide you on your way! )

You can find more information in the 2002 Back Issues of the Pilot Car Dispatch E-Zine
