Florida Permit Information
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) manages oversize and overweight permits through its Permits Office. Florida's extensive bridge network and coastal geography require careful route planning for heavy loads. We manage all Florida permitting needs including:
- Single-trip and annual oversize/overweight permits
- Bridge analysis and weight-restricted route avoidance
- Causeway and bridge crossing coordination for coastal deliveries
- Escort vehicle requirements and pilot car arrangement
- Time-of-travel restrictions in congested metro areas (Miami, Orlando, Tampa)
- Turnpike and toll road authorization for oversize loads
Major Florida Highways for Heavy Haul
Florida's highway system connects major population centers, though bridge weight limits and urban congestion require experienced route planning:
- Interstate 75: Primary corridor from Georgia border through Tampa to Naples (Alligator Alley to Miami)
- Interstate 95: East coast corridor from Jacksonville through Daytona, Melbourne, and Fort Lauderdale to Miami
- Interstate 10: Panhandle east-west route from Jacksonville to Pensacola
- Interstate 4: Central Florida connector between Tampa and Daytona Beach through Orlando
- Florida's Turnpike: Toll route alternative through the central part of the state
- US 27: Interior north-south alternative avoiding congested coastal routes
