Timing
When to Ship Wisconsin to Delaware
Midwest winter and beach season set the timing.
Wisconsin Winter
From December through March, snow on I-94, I-43, and I-90 can push a pickup back a day.
Chicago Traffic
Nearly every load heading south or east runs through Chicago. Rush hour on the Edens, the Kennedy, and the Dan Ryan can add hours, so drivers time the run around it.
Turnpike Snow
Snow over the Allegheny tunnels on the Pennsylvania Turnpike can slow an eastbound truck in winter.
Beach Season
Summer weekends jam DE-1 to Rehoboth and Lewes. Weekday delivery is easier.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Delaware.
Registering in Delaware
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the Delaware DMV, and the car is inspected at the DMV lane when you register. Check dmv.de.gov for current requirements.
Gated Communities
Many communities around Lewes and Rehoboth keep car haulers outside the gate. The driver will meet you at the entrance.
No Sales Tax
Delaware has no sales tax, but you'll still pay a document fee when you title the car.
Milwaukee Pickups
Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Brookfield, and Waukesha sit on I-94 and I-43, so carriers pass through every day on the way to Chicago. Older city blocks with alley garages usually mean meeting on a wider street.
