Florida Truck Permits for trip, fuel, oversize & overweight
A truck without Florida on its IRP cab card runs on a 10-day trip permit, and without IFTA on a 10-day fuel-use permit, sold at Florida's three ports of entry or bought ahead. FDOT issues oversize and overweight permits, which must be in hand before the truck enters the state. Tell us the truck, load and route, and our permit desk files every permit Florida needs.

How Florida permits differ from Georgia and Alabama
Most trucks enter Florida from Georgia on I-95 and I-75 or from Alabama on I-10.
Longer trip permits than Georgia
Florida's trip permit runs 10 days. Georgia's IRP trip permit runs 72 hours, with a 10-day fuel trip permit beside it.
Separate permits, unlike Alabama's combo
Florida sells trip and fuel-use permits separately, each for 10 days. Alabama offers a combined trip and fuel permit for 7 days.
Night entry from Alabama on I-10
With a valid permit and a law enforcement escort, an oversize load may run at night on I-10 from the Alabama line to the Pensacola weigh station.

FAQ
Florida permit questions
What permits does a truck need to run in Florida?
A truck with Florida on its IRP cab card and an IFTA license needs no trip or fuel permit. Without them it needs a 10-day trip permit and a 10-day fuel-use permit. A load over the legal size or weight also needs an FDOT permit before it enters Florida.
Where can I buy Florida trip and fuel permits?
At any of Florida's three ports of entry, Pensacola, White Springs and Yulee, or before entering the state. We file them ahead so the truck does not wait at the scale.
How long do Florida trip and fuel permits last?
Both expire 10 days after issuance: the trip permit for registration, the temporary fuel-use permit for fuel tax.
Can I get a Florida oversize permit at the weigh station?
No. All oversize and overweight permits must be obtained before entering Florida, and permitted loads may not bypass an open weigh station.
Can Route One GO handle Florida and the other states on my route?
Yes. Send the load and route once, and our permit desk files with FDOT and every other state you cross. Requests are taken 24/7.
