We have a 48ft trailer and truck at 63 feet. I applied and was given no permit needed (stamped on the application) under 65 feet, but was instructed to stop at the agriculture stations and not the scales. With 2 race cares inside, each "ag" station waived me through (30 seconds).

put a "not for hire" sign on it and they shouldn't give you a hard time.

FL DOT section 390.3(f)(3) says as long as the race car is not for commercial use,that any prize money won is claimed on taxes,and no corporate sponsorship is all over the trailer you are exempt. That's the short version.

The length is 65' or longer. Permit is $15 and good for a year. Can do it on the net with a credit card.
DOT starts with 10K lbs, but they got bigger fish to kill. I would have enough truck tag to cover the actual weight of your truck and trailer if you use a pickup.

Jim,

Thanks for the warning. I was told by the officer at the Tallahassee Ag checkpoint that race trailers and campers did not need to stop at the ag checkpoints. I guess I will stop next time by and make sure that is still correct.

We just (2/16/09) received our Blanket Permit from the Florida Dept. of Transportation and paid $20.00 which is good for 1 year. Did we get ripped off?

It could be $20. I have been wrong before as my wife frequently points out.

Thanks for the replies,I may be more confused than before if that's possible. It sounds like we're good to go (we're under 65 ft.) so hopefully there will be no issues. Now we just need the weather to cooperate. Joe
