Wilmington is eleven square miles of land with a port, an auto ramp and a rail ramp in it, and seven in ten of its carriers are registered for interstate work. The Port of Wilmington's marine terminal and the auto ramp beside it are the city's freight map, with the Edgemoor yards to the north.
So the Wilmington semi truck is a car hauler loading at the auto ramp, a day cab draying boxes off the marine terminal and a produce reefer off the port. A tandem dump truck works a city job, a grain truck comes off the county's corn and soybean fields, and a sleeper works the I-95 corridor.
Lost title in Wilmington
Delaware recommends that seller and buyer transfer the title at a DMV facility. The two that serve Wilmington are Greater Wilmington at 2230 Hessler Boulevard and Delaware City at 2101 Mid County Drive, both in New Castle, where a lost title is replaced too.
A port tractor shows its life at the fifth wheel and the steps, a car hauler in the ramps and the hydraulics, a highway sleeper in the drivetrain. Photograph what did the work, and tell us whether it worked the port, the city or the corridor.
Weight limits in Wilmington
Wilmington's own list is short: 46 bridges, three with a load posting, none under fourteen feet. A five-axle tractor off I-95 and a dually that never saw a scale are one conversation with us. Delaware's own figures and the federal table are on the Delaware page, which is where a Wilmington seller finds the arithmetic.
Tell us where the truck is in Wilmington, down by the port, up at Edgemoor or out past the Delaware City refinery, and send photos and the title.
