The (not so) secret strength behind our Director Pilot Car Sign is its professional-grade construction paired with modular practicality. Built from lightweight aluminum with an integrated fold-down frame, the Director delivers durability without adding excess weight to your truck. Canada-rated and engineered for year-round reliability, it’s designed specifically for pickup pilot trucks escorting oversized or awkward loads across long distances. With wireless control, internal LED illumination, alternating “bus lights” (Ping Pongs), and 360° amber beacons, the Director ensures maximum visibility in all conditions. Its design breaks down efficiently for shipping, making it cost-effective to deliver anywhere in Canada—or ready to install right here in Parksville, BC.
The Director is a universal fit for most pickup trucks and can be configured to meet a variety of escort requirements. Operators can select options like beacon styles, lighting arrangements, and finish details to match their needs.
