Florida is NOT a port of entry state. All applicable permits and credentials must be obtained prior to entering the State and must be carried in the vehicle. If you do not have the necessary permits and credentials upon entering Florida and attempt to purchase them at the first weigh station, by law you will be cited for not having the necessary credentials to operate within the State of Florida and then be given the opportunity to purchase them. Make sure you have the necessary permits and credentials BEFORE you enter Florida! Call the ‘Florida Trucking Info Line’ at 850-414-4700 and select Option 2 for information on Oversize, Overweight or Over-dimensional permits.
