Just picked up a "part time" driving position that is only 3 days out, the rest home. They go to Delaware alot (reefer), and its mainly picking up containers (no live loaded/unloaded crap. I have mainly only drove South/& West. I know East can be tricky!! and containers can be as well. Still sorta a newer driver, (had some time off)......ok fire away <lol>.......how bad? :cry:

Who maintains the containers and chassis so it isn't on you? Be very good on pre-tripping including checking brakes, make sure you have chocks with you. BOL

Delaware is a cake - out truck enforcement units are fairly decent guys looking for real issues (unlike the MD guys who once made me scale my pickup.) Delaware drivers are fast, but in my biased opinion, are fairly predictable and generally considerate. Truck enforcement units drive white vans and state police drive dark blue vics.

In all fairness Delaware is very small (2hrs from point to point) so you will spend a lot more time in other states.

I assume you're heading to Wilmington (DE Cold or D&S) but if you're heading south of Dover send me a PM and I'll give you the routes you need to avoid beach traffic.

I used to run Dover often. Delaware is a pretty decent state for truckers, like Bonkers said. Roads are good, it's pretty flat and nice scenery.

Oh good, now I feel better :lol:

That doesn't surprise me.

I detest the Maryland DOT with all my beating heart.
