I’m on my way to Orlando. It’s taken me 3 1/2 years to get to Florida in a truck. Any advise that might help me?
I’m reloading the same place. Heading straight back to Denver.

Maine and New Hampshire?
As far as Florida goes, think they're only 41' from kingpin to center of rear axle, which normally isn't a problem for anyone. Also, park early if you can they're as fusterclucked as the northeast.tscottme, CorsairFanboy and Trucker61016 Thank this. -
Take the toll way. 100%. ($12).
Figure out where you're gonna park on the front end, because there isn't much.tscottme, CorsairFanboy, austinmike and 3 others Thank this. -
California and Arizona? Good thing you're reloading out of the same place. Truck parking in Florida can be a challenge at times.

I do seem to recall staying at a truck stop in orlando once... some weird independent place that you had to pay to park. But I got there late at night and there was still plenty of parking. But that was long enough ago that I don’t remember exactly where it was.

I second the parking early before it's too late. The only time I've been to Orlando, I took I 95 all the way from Maryland. Stopped in Daytona and came into the city right around 01:00 am (it was an all night window for delivery). There's a lot of road construction on I 4 right now.
Trucker61016 and WesternPlains Thank this. -
