Florida now has four regulations of concern to racers entering and exiting the state:
If your rig has a total overall length of more than 65' -- you need to obtain a permit from the state prior to entering of leaving it. A 5-day permit is $25 and a annual permit it $250. You can obtain on-line with a credit card -- but do so a week or so in advance. You can not obtain this at the state line -- as Florida doesn't have a Port Authority. The fine for not having this permit is $1500.
If you have a trailer over 28' over all (many 24' trailers are 28' or more) then you must have a CDL (Commercial Driver's License). There is some dispute on if you also must have one if your truck, trailer or cars has a company name on it.
As you leave the state, there is an Agriculture inspection station about a mile before the las scale. Anyone with a motorhome or trailer must stop. They will usually just waive you through. They're not the same as a weigh station -- and the fine is $300 to pass it.
There are no combinations of more than two parts. IE: you can not have a pickup, pull a camper, pull a boat.
I will try to post the citations when I get back to town.
