Our History

Sentinel Pilot Car Services was founded in 2003 in St. Cloud, Minnesota, with a single dispatcher.

The goal? To provide peace of mind to Anderson Trucking Service (ATS) and like-minded heavy haul and specialized freight shippers — confidently moving their oversized freight safely throughout the continental U.S. and Canada.

Leveraging our industry expertise and the many connections we had with top industry experts, we were able to build a team that’s uniquely able to strategically plan and deploy customized, turnkey pilot car solutions.

Today, the Sentinel team is comprised of over 1,400 escorts, 800 of which can operate as height pole escorts, and nine dedicated support team members who are unmatched in their ability to help ensure oversized freight is escorted safely and legally.
