I left the Jacksonville Terminal at 5 AM EDT and drove down to Ormond Beach to load a diner that is going to West Palm Beach, Florida. I arrived at 6:30 AM EDT. At about 10:00 AM, they had me back in and get everything ready to load. I stretched the trailer to the appropriate length and waited.
They were finishing up shrink-wrapping the diner that I was transporting.
I am 14 feet high, 100 feet long, and 16 feet wide. Just to give you some perspective of how long I am, a full-size Greyhound bus is 45 feet long. I am more than twice the length of a bus.
My two pilot escort cars had been waiting all morning with me and were ready to go when I was. We left at about 1 PM EDT with one car in front with a high pole and another following, and headed south along our permit route. Had to stop at the weigh station in Palm City, Florida, for the night. Couldn't drive past 4 PM EDT due to a Palm Beach curfew. Can't start in the morning until 9 AM EDT because of the curfew.
