    If you don’t have the permit for your trailer you don’t get to leave the scale.

    That's true, but today with all the third party companies you can get a permit pretty fast. Personally I'd avoid the State Permit Office, they don't get in any hurry.

    When you say hanging off, you're talking about Overhang right ? As long as it's not over 6' you're legal if you're within the 75' limit, if not get a permit.

    You have to have the original permit in your possession for a trailer over 48’ that doesn’t meet their kpra regulation. So going through a permit service wouldn’t really help because an email or fax copy of the permit still wouldn’t get you out of the scale.

    So out of curiosity, at that point what are your choices?

    Not real sure. In 2015 I ordered my permit and ended up having to go load a couple days early so I left without it. Sure as heck I got called into the EB scale at Sneads going down empty. I knew it was going to be waiting for me at Holopaw because I had my brother overnight it down there. The guy at the scale looked it up and saw where I had ordered and paid for it, so he let me go after I told him that it was overnighted down there to the cafe.

    It only has to be the original Permit if it's a Blanket Permit. You can have a Trip Permit faxed or emailed to you, and you can go, in Florida anyway.

    Pensacola , Plantation Key and I believe Yulee scales are Point of Entry Scales, you can get Permits there now.

    But what if you were at a scale that did not offer them? If they will not let you leave without a permit, then what are your options to get one? I have mine, but it just made me curious what would happen

    You can have it Faxed to the Scale. All Florida Scales offer that.
