What is the max length can rig/trailer be in florida
 
My haul truck engine took a crap, and I was wondering if I could use my 39 foot diesel pusher RV can be legal in florida.
Total length with trailer will be 80 feet long:eek:. I will have a buddy use his blazer to splash and unsplash, then haul back home with my Rv again.

I was towing the Donzi about a year ago and a DOT officer followed me into a rest area. I got a verbal warning for width (8'9") and length (70'). The officer was very nice, but he did say the first stop you get a courtesy education about Florida laws. He implied that I would have gotten in immediate trouble if I was a paid driver. I haven’t moved the boats lately, but I do take the time to get a permit. You may also be required to have a CDL.

Oh no, looks like i have to fix my haul truck ASAP.
I know texas and michigan have a 80 foot rule.
Thanks for the update.
