Driving CDL in Delaware
Delaware sits astride I-95 between Philadelphia and Baltimore — the I-95 segment through Newark and Wilmington carries some of the densest mixed freight on the East Coast. The Port of Wilmington handles produce, autos, and bulk; chemical and pharmaceutical freight from the Wilmington industrial corridor adds hazmat-eligible loads. Delaware has a moderate graduated state income tax (top rate 6.6% on income above $60,000). The state's small geographic size means most regional drivers based here spend significant time in PA, MD, and NJ; treat DE as the I-95 transit corridor it is.
