Wilmington Dedicated Lane FAQs
What makes the I-95 corridor through Wilmington ideal for dedicated lanes?
The I-95 corridor between Wilmington and the Philly/NYC/Baltimore metros carries some of the densest freight traffic in the country. Short distances (30 miles to Philly, 70 to Baltimore, 120 to NYC) allow multiple daily round trips, making dedicated lane contracts extremely efficient for carriers.
How does Delaware's chemical industry drive dedicated freight?
Delaware's chemical heritage from DuPont creates dedicated demand for hazmat-certified carriers moving specialty chemicals, agricultural products, and industrial materials. Chemours and other manufacturers maintain dedicated contracts for daily shipments to processing facilities along the I-95 corridor.
What are Wilmington's port-related dedicated lane opportunities?
The Port of Wilmington specializes in fruit imports (bananas, citrus) and bulk cargo, creating dedicated reefer and dry van drayage to regional cold storage and distribution facilities. The port handles over 400 vessels annually with predictable weekly schedules ideal for dedicated contracts.
