pilot vehicle provided


Explanation:
Let your context be your guide! In the US, pilot vehicles are required for wide loads or in some cases when the truck is negotiating difficult roads. Such a vehicle dose, of course, accompany the truck. Sometimes, two such vehicles are required, one in fron and one behind.
My medium confidence is based solely on my lack of knowledge re your context.
