originally The Legend stated;

Going to Florida in a dually with a 48 ft enclosed trailer.
What problems may I run into?
I will be traveling I-95

As you travel South you will notice a decrease in the size and amount of pot holes on I-95.
This can be remedied by getting off I-95 and get onto I-75. They both head South with traffic congestion being greater on I-95

The weather will seem to get warmer and then will turn on you as the sun goes down.

Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) cars are yellow and black, and cannot be detected with the human eye until you pass them, even if they are sitting in the medium.

Shorter skirts, tight shorts, bikinis, and thongs are of a distraction when driving as you get closer to the coastline.

I-95 is for people from the new England area, NY/NJ (same same), and other eastern states. I-75 is for Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. Pennsylvania has both options.

I-95 ends in Miami, you need to know how to speak Spanish

Hope this helps Chip.

I use the poly-whatever jugs like are sold through the mail order companies.
But I got a feeling that it get more complicated, especially after a certain amount.

Make sure the trailer & the truck are both registered in the same name. (cops check that) and make sure the truck is registered in a persons name not a business. Register it to a business and it is a business vehicle and subject to DOT regs regardless of length.

Don't know if it varies by state, but here in Florida the DMV told me to tag my truck for the combined weight of truck & loaded trailer. So I got 19,999. I believe the cheaper trailer tag was based on mfg. weight, not what it's rated for.
