Critical Operating Guidelines for Delaware Trip Permits
A standard Delaware trip permit is valid for five days, allowing travel from sunrise to sunset, including weekends. However, haulers must observe restricted travel periods on major holidays such as New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Movement must cease at noon the day before these holidays and may resume after 9:00 a.m. the following day. These stipulations are vital to plan around when scheduling oversized loads.
Legal Dimensions and Delaware Memorial Bridge Oversize Restrictions
Understanding Delaware legal limits is essential when applying for Delaware DOT oversize permits:
Length: 53 feet for semi-trailers on interstates and designated highways, with a maximum rear overhang of 10 feet.
Width: 8 feet 6 inches on designated highways; 8 feet on non-designated roads.
Height: 13 feet 6 inches on designated routes; 13 feet elsewhere.
Weight: 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight.
Special attention must be given to Delaware Memorial Bridge oversize restrictions, which impose additional constraints on load dimensions and weights. Consulting with A Permits ensures your route and permits comply with these critical bridge regulations.
