Delaware Trip Permit: Validity and Operating Times
A Delaware trip permit is valid for five days, providing flexibility for your schedule. Travel is permitted from sunrise to sunset, including weekends, which is ideal for time-sensitive deliveries. However, there are restrictions: no movement is allowed on major holidays such as New Year’s, Memorial Day, and Thanksgiving. Operations must cease at noon the day before a holiday and can resume after 9:00 a.m. the day following.
Legal Dimensions and Delaware Memorial Bridge Oversize Restrictions
Understanding legal dimensions is crucial when applying for Delaware Oversize Permits:
Length: 53' for semi-trailers; up to 70' for certain loads with a maximum 10' rear overhang.
Width: 8'6" on designated highways, 8' on non-designated.
Height: 13'6" on designated highways, 13' on non-designated.
Weight: 80,000 lbs gross.
Always check for Delaware Memorial Bridge oversize restrictions before planning your route, as special rules may apply.
Routine Permit Limits and Escort Requirements for Delaware Oversize Permits
Routine Delaware Overweight Permits allow loads up to 120' in length, 15' in width or height, and 120,000 lbs (depending on axle count). Loads exceeding these limits require Super Load permits. Escorts are mandatory for oversize loads: for example, over 90’ in length requires at least one rear escort, while extreme widths or heights may necessitate multiple escorts and State Police involvement.
Hauling Permits and Safety Compliance with A Permits
All hauling permits require strict adherence to safety protocols. Warning signs and flags are mandatory for all oversize movements. “Oversize Load” signs must be displayed, and flags are required at the extremities of wide or overhanging load. At A Permits, we ensure your application covers every compliance detail, so your journey through Delaware is smooth and legal.
