Do you haul freight in Florida? If you’re a truck driver and you’re going to travel in Florida, you’re going to need a trip or fuel permit before you enter the state. It’s really easy to obtain a permit online, and only takes a few minutes. There’s a quiz on the website you can take to make sure you do what’s required. Read the FAQs (frequently asked questions) that pertain to you and your vehicle. There are certain requirements drivers of big rigs, buses, and other large vehicles must follow because of the number of axles it has or the vehicle’s weight. No one wants to be fined $500 for not having a permit that only costs $40 in the first place. The saying is, “it’s not worth it to drive without a permit in Florida.”
The Trip Trucking Permit Services Florida has available makes it easy to apply online. The website you’ve just clicked on even has a video that shows how easy it is to get a permit. When you apply, you’ll have to enter your name, (first and last), email address, company name and address, VIN (vehicle identification number) of the vehicle, make, model and year into the online form. You’ll also need to enter your vehicle’s year, license number, state insurance and the base state your vehicle is from. Once you have paid the fees, you can print the permit via email, download it or, if you have a fax number, it can be faxed directly to you. The cost is a non-refundable $30 trip / $45 fuel fee plus a $25 processing fee for each permit applied for. Make sure all your information is correct before you click the submit button.
If your vehicle has three axles, weighs 26,000 pounds, and it is a power unit with a trailer with a combined weight of 26,000 pounds, you’re going to need a trip permit. The permit lasts ten days. If you don’t take advantage of the Trip Trucking Permit Services Florida makes available, you could end up paying $.05 penalty assessment for every pound over 10,000 pounds.
It just makes extremely good sense to get the permits needed for each state you’re driving your truck or extra large vehicle through. Be safe, not fined. Visit website for more details about the trip trucking permits in Florida.
