Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

For those of you who are going to Gainesville for the Gators, don't forget to get your Florida overlength permit. I just remembered it this afternoon and it took me 3 hours and 3 phone calls to finally get it done. They have changed their webpage and it gave me some problems.

Here is the link: http://www.fdotmaint.com/PermitNew/home.asp

Good luck!

Dyno, we plan on being at South Georgia also. They took our money, too. Hope we get it before we leave! See ya there!

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

I just went back to the site with my password and printed the permit off. I think if your app. says "approved", click on it and print it. I am not sure if they mail it. I hope I can dig myself out of the snow to get down there. Started the car up yesterday for the 1st time this year, it warmed all the way up to 44* yesterday, but more snow tomorrow and then below zero for at least 4 more days next week. Looking forward to see everyone again. Dyno

You might not want to spend the time or money.I have the Fla. non resident permit.Pa used to honor it.No more,some Jack*** introduced legislation and now they will only honor out of state permits if they are residents of the state issuing the permit.The only place close to me honoring it is Delaware.I only went there to race at Delmar in the past.So now it's a means of photo ID for me.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

I just got mine Dyno . I have been on the roads in Florida with my rig 85 ft with no trouble for 8 years . After reading the posts I figured I better get one. Easy enough to get and cheap insurance . See you in Georgia

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

85! Road Hog..............I'm only 83. Good Luck racing

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

Our permit arrived today. 2./24/14

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

So what is the beginning limit for trucks and trailer in FL?

Thanks

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

Are you racers getting O/L permits driving Truck Type RV transporters that MUST go into the weigh stations? I don't think a Motorhome RV with a trailer that does NOT have to enter weigh stations would have any issues with the DOT! The CDL LICENSE, MEDICAL CARD, & LOG BOOK rules are another thing the DOT loves to hassle the Truck Type Rigs about! What do you guys think?

Motorhome max. length in Florida is 65'.... Over that you need the permit.... Still no weigh stations but over 65' need permit to be legal...

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

The permit very plainly states that all permited loads must enter all open weigh stations, then you just follow the arrows. I have never had them look at the permit, but there is always the first time, they usually green light me down the front.

Larry, I got mine in the mail yesterday also. Dyno

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

I have the Request for Special Road Use Oversize/Overweight Permit Application in front of me and there is NOT a selection for Motorhome towing a trailer? The closest would be Mobile Home which is for just that and Manf. Homes(half houses) in transit!
I am going to contact FL DOT for clarification but as I see the application they have no category for Motorhomes. This permit application is for commercial vehicles.
ALSO: Your trip permit is only valid for 5 days unless you are purchasing a blanket permit which sounds like it would be VERY expensive! Not sure about the costs?
Anyone's input on the permit they purchased, type vehicle they have, what selection they used on the application, trip or blanket, & the costs might b helpful to other racers!

Re: Don't forget your Florida permit !!!
 

Moveman- the permit you want is a blanket permit for a truck pulling a trailer. The cost is $20.00 per year. I have been getting them for 5 or 6 years. It is no big deal, unless you don't have it and an informed Fla Dot officer decides to stop you. The fine is rumored to be $1000.00 per foot over 65 feet.
