The past few days I traveled from Quetta to Islamabad, also under 24h police protection from Sukkur onwards. From Quetta to Sukkur I didn't have the escort and I had no problems: people are not dangerous there. In Sukkur I asked directions to a police officer and that's how they 'caught' me. I joined up with an italian couple traveling by car, and they were under protection from Sibi to Lahore (also via Sukkur).
We didn't like the fact that they kept us away from the locals, but we certainly hated their driving speed: usually max. 70 km/h on good empty roads! I drove at night twice because they were so slow, while I could have made it in daylight easily. The second time there were dunes on the road but I couldn't see them because of the darkness and the police in front of me: I nearly crashed a few times! 'For my safety', sure!
cheers,
Peter
