    Fla has annual permits. I know the car haulers have them for length etc. I have one for king pin to center axle length for my 53' step.

    I'm sure other annual permits are available.

    2686b_americas_14cup_14world_14series.jpg Thanks Hurst

    I used to haul my 11 foot wide Parasail boat all over the place back in the day and never blanked an eye.
    I now own a sailboat that is trailer able and just under 12 foot wide but I was just thinking if i have a cdl and get caught hauling it around now I could get hung.
    What is the cost for a 5 day permit for a local move and how often can you get one?

    I see guys hauling monster wide Grady Whites all over town here all the time.
    Would a 60 foot long trailer with a under 12 width be good for an annual?

    I want to upgrade mt sailboat and want one of these really really bad.But it has to be reasonably transportable.

    Tommy, you can get an annual good for up to 12' wide (with no escort), and I believe 80' long, for like $450. We have (actually had, I just got a new gig) several, for 6, 7, and 8 axle weights. Like Hurst posted, with annuals, you are good from 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset. Limited to 1/2 hour before sunrise to noon on weekends. Also, no travel on most major holidays. Hope this helps.

    Yea, I hear ya. But regular "civilians" can do it all day long and get away with it......
    Speaking of blowing...A buddy of mine mentioned the other day that they either are considering or already have instituted a new law on the water that you can't blow more than a .01.....You heard anything like that?

    LOL,. and I wish I could deny that.

    Clear permatex, foam insulation material, rolls of weather stripping, double sided sticky tape, some new clips and screws,.. good as,.. er,.. I mean better than new.

    My wife and I give each truck we are in nick names. My truck was christened Fred after Snowman's hound dog from Smokey and the Bandit. Yet my wife still likes to refer to my truck as the Pug,.. because its so ugly.

    The last 2 Freightliners,..

    2012 Coronado SD was nick named 'Rattle Trap' or just R/T for short. That truck would rattle the fillings out of your teeth.

    The 2009 Cascadia was nick named Snaggle Tooth because it had this giant hook where a normal tow hook should be,.. instead there was a great big crane hook LOL. And it too,.. rattled, creaked and groaned.

    I have 10 almost new virgins. Michelin XDA3 steers, Yokohama 417's on front drive axle and Generals on the rear drive axle. No shakes or rattles going down the road. I can listen to my music and a nice volume. Originally I spend a little over $1700 for the audio system in my truck because it was so noisy going down the road.

    New head
    rods, mains, etc
    new pistons
    liners rings etc
    new starter
    new pre cooler

    Bunch of other things. I'd have look at the invoice to be more specific.

    Basically an inframe..no new turbos.

    Back in my heavy hauling days, even though it was always machinery that required no disassembly, I always preferred 1/2 chains because I drove spring ride equipment. Machinery on wheels such as wheel loaders made that even more necessary IMO.
