For a manufactured home width of 14-16 feet, what type of escorts are required during transport?

When transporting a manufactured home that is between 14 and 16 feet in width, regulations typically require both a leading and a trailing escort. The leading escort vehicle helps to clear the path ahead, ensuring that any road hazards or obstacles are reported and that the route is clear for the oversized load. The trailing escort acts as an alert for other drivers behind the transport, assisting in the safe navigation of the extra-wide load. This dual escort system enhances safety for both the transported home and other road users, making it crucial for compliance with transportation laws in many jurisdictions, including South Carolina.

In contrast, during transport of homes wider than 16 feet, even more stringent requirements may apply, necessitating additional escorts or permits. Conversely, narrower loads may not require escorts at all, and thus those options would not apply to homes in this width range.
