Going to Florida-Need an overlength permit?

Chuck Westcott · 02-13-2010, 11:18 AM

On my way to Bradenton this week I pulled into a rest area north of Tampa for the night.
I pulled around the back side and there were 10 DOT officers and 4 State troopers going through a Tractor Trailer, the only open space was 2 spaces from where they were. So I pulled in and Parked jumped out to walk my little dog and never got a second look, I was just waiting for a question and to show my permit from Fl DOT. Maybe I'm not obvious with the MH and Trailer. I'm at 67 ft total.
They hung around after they let the Big Truck go and all were just 15 ft away and just all left at the same time.
I'm still glad I have the permit.
