hauling my stuff .... what all permits should i have? 40 ft.... 8'6" wide..
going from north carolina to miami.... what time should i travel. and routes taken? etc? thanks

Unless it's 40' wide and 8'-6" long I'm pretty sure you can go anywhere, anytime.

Travel when you want, use the routes you want. Plenty of people on here are bigger than that every time they go.

8'6 is legal - not an oversize...I run 77->26 @ Columbia SC-> 95 and take the 295 around Jacksonville FL.

I refer to run a night but to each their own... Just try to plan your progress in order to keep away from the cities during peek traffic periods - no mercy for a truck/trailer combo from the 4wheelers. Just South of Stuart Florida - you are in heavy traffic flow right into Miami.... and they usually drive by braille (one tire running the marked lanes) ... with a constant signal on (even though they appear to be a legal option)

Roll on driver... Wherever and whenever you want to go, nothing illegal about it.

Florida is full.

They are turning people away at the state line.

Long wait , you have to wait for a person to leave in order to be let in.

Good news it will give you time to learn your Spanish , which you are required to have if you enter Miami.
