Going uphill, both lanes full, a bend ahead and a solid line, but the pilot truck has moved (he/she usually sits in the oncoming traffic lane so you can't even consider overtaking) over so that means I can overtake( they wave you ahead very vigorously if you don't move straight away). Foot to the floor and off we go.
There is a system, I discovered that there is a second pilot truck a couple of kilometres ahead and he tells this pilot just ahead of me that it is safe to overtake - no-one is coming- so you go like hell!
We passed this pair of low loaders five times in three days because we travel faster than they do but not for the same length of time each day. We were so late starting one morning that we never did catch them again.
