Moving machinery in and out of Wilmington
Wilmington is Delaware's largest city and home to the Port of Wilmington, a deepwater port at the confluence of the Christina and Delaware rivers that handles containers, fresh fruit, vehicles and other cargo, with I-95 and I-495 giving direct truck access. Machines leave Wilmington on I-95, I-495, I-295 and US-13, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a DelDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Wilmington, DE
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Wilmington?
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 Wilmington?
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 Wilmington, the closest neighbor is Pennsylvania: Philadelphia is about 25 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).
