Questions about shipping in Middletown, DE

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Middletown?

In Delaware they come from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and if the route crosses other states each one issues its own. They are arranged before pickup, for the exact route.

Can you pick up at a jobsite in Middletown?

Yes. Tell us whether there is a ramp, a forklift or a crane for loading and what the access is like; the carrier confirms it with you before arrival.

What if the machine leaves Delaware?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Middletown, the closest neighbor is Pennsylvania: Philadelphia is about 45 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (PennDOT). New Jersey is next, through the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT).
