Delaware Freight Services

Mid-Atlantic logistics corridor and corporate hub

Despite its small size, Delaware is a significant freight state due to its position on the I-95 corridor, the Port of Wilmington's fruit import dominance, and a massive concentration of corporate headquarters. No sales tax drives retail distribution activity.
