Thanks, I like the DOT discription and it is a US standard, which is something I needed.
Thanks to everyone responding including the Canadian "a?"
I'm involved in a situation wherein a person designated as an "escort" was struck by the truck he was escorting.
I am hearing the term "escort" more often and have been confused as to the differance between that and "spotter"
As a powered industrial truck instructor over the past 25 years I have had the oportunity to teach "spotter" responsibillities and signals. It would seem that an escort should require at least some of that same instruction.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
