Why Delaware Oversize Permits Matter

Delaware sits at a vital junction along the Eastern Seaboard, making Delaware Oversize Permits essential for carriers transporting oversize and overweight loads. Whether its construction equipment, wind turbines, or long pipe sections, you’ll need proper documentation to move legally and safely through the state of Delaware. Each Delaware trip permit is valid for five days, giving you a flexible yet structured window for transport.
