Delaware Truck Permits for trip, fuel, oversize & overweight

A truck without Delaware or IRP registration needs the DMV's 3-day IRP trip permit, counted from the day it is issued and bought before the truck operates in Delaware. A carrier without IFTA credentials buys a fuel trip permit. Oversize and overweight loads take a permit from the DelDOT Hauling Permit Office, which accepts applications only online or through permit services. Tell us the truck, load and route, and we file every Delaware permit the trip needs.

Delaware and other states

How Delaware permits differ from other states on your route

Delaware set beside New Jersey across the Delaware Memorial Bridge and Maryland and Pennsylvania on the I-95 corridor.

  1. First escort

    Delaware adds the first escort over 13 ft wide or 90 ft long. New Jersey waits until over 14 ft wide or 100 ft long.

  2. Weekend moves

    Delaware lets permitted loads run sunrise to sunset Monday through Sunday, and Pennsylvania's statute does the same. Maryland parks them from noon Saturday through Sunday.

  3. Trip permit length

    Delaware's IRP trip permit runs three days, counting the day it is issued. Maryland sells a 72-hour trip permit.

  4. Bridges and toll roads

    Wide loads on the Delaware Memorial Bridge use Lane 13, and per DelDOT's notice overweight moves are banned there. In New Jersey the Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway need their own approval.

FAQ

Delaware permit questions

How long is a Delaware IRP trip permit valid?

Three days, including the day it is issued. The Delaware DMV requires it before a truck without Delaware or IRP registration operates in the state.

Where does a carrier without IFTA credentials get a Delaware fuel permit?

IFTA in Delaware is run by DMV Motor Carrier Services, and a carrier without IFTA credentials buys a fuel trip permit. We order it together with the trip permit.

Can I phone DelDOT or walk in for an oversize permit?

No. DelDOT takes applications only online or through permit services, not by phone, in person or by fax. Route One GO files it for you.

Are tolls included in a Delaware blanket permit?

No. Blanket permits do not include tolls; they are paid at the time of travel.

Can your permit desk handle Delaware trip, fuel and oversize permits in one request?

Yes. Give us the truck, load and route once; we file with the DMV and DelDOT and cover the other states on the trip, 24/7.
