I am from Florida and my rig is 68 ft long nose to tail. I have not had any problems in the SE. I don't stop at the scales or agriculture checkpoints either. They won't bother you in a motor home

Thanks Mike, I'm about 70 ft. but I have not been in Fla. since 2001 and with all the bs laws we have now you just never know. Rick.

Rick,
$20.00 for a yearlong blanket permit. We have had one every year since we started racing in Florida. Now that we live in Texas we still get one every year, even if we have no current plans to go to Florida (just because plans change). In the past it has taken up to 3 weeks to get the permit through the mail. This year I had the permit in hand 4 days after I submitted the application. It's a December/off season thing for us.

A few years ago Fla Dot stopped and ticketed several sprint car teams for over length rigs. Reports are of heavy fines. Twenty bucks is cheap. The overall length in Fla is 65 feet.

Rick, for $20 and peace of mind, we just get one every year.

I think this is where you apply.

Hello Rick and Phyllis, just curious.....did you buy the Nevada trailer towing permit when you raced out West a few seasons ago ?.......

Re: Fla. overlength permit
 

I did not apply,lucked out. But got stopped in Arizona, bs my way out of it, sure luck alone, why I am asking now . Rick .

Re: Fla. overlength permit
 

I believe Larry is offering good advice.....

Re: Fla. overlength permit
 

Just curious; If you planned on going racing to a lot of states,would you have to get a permit for each state you planned on entering or would states recognize permits from other states.It could get expensive real fast just for permits if they didn't.

I blew passed the Agriculture check point last year and got pulled over within 3 miles. The guy gave me a little hassle, something about not being able to read, and a quick update on what could happen to me, and let me go. I don't tow with a motorhome, just my pick up and enclosed trailer. They musta been bored that night.....So now I just swing in and tell 'em I'm only hauling a car.

On my trip to Florida from Minnesota, I get the permit from Iowa and Florida. Never been stopped, but peace of mind.

Re: Fla. overlength permit
 

Thanks Patsy and everyone. Right now the web site wont let me in so I will be on the phone Monday. 20 bucks is cheap insurance for sure. Rick.
