About the Wilmington, DE freight market
Wilmington, DE is home to 479 registered for-hire motor carriers, of which 479 (100.0%) hold active operating authority as of May 2026. According to FMCSA records, the average fleet size among Wilmington carriers is 7.4 power units, reflecting a market dominated by owner-operators and small fleets. The Wilmington carrier population contributes to Delaware's broader freight economy, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics ranks among the nation's largest by trucking employment.
The fleet composition in Wilmington shows 372 single-truck operators (77.7% of all carriers) alongside 7 carriers operating fleets of 101+ power units. Other operations represent the largest segment with 639 carriers. This distribution is consistent with FMCSA's national pattern where approximately 91% of registered carriers operate fewer than 6 power units (FMCSA Industry Snapshot, 2024).
Authority tenure data reveals 40 carriers received new operating authority in the past 6 months, while 96 carriers have maintained continuous authority for 20+ years. New entrants face elevated scrutiny under FMCSA's New Entrant Safety Assurance Program, which mandates an 18-month monitoring period including at least one safety audit. The presence of 2 carriers with prior revocations on record underscores the importance of verifying authority status before tendering freight — a carrier's historical compliance record is publicly available through the FMCSA SAFER System.
Truck Graph identifies 2 active risk indicators among Wilmington carriers (0.42% of the population), flagged through cross-referencing authority history, insurance filing patterns, and known chameleon carrier behaviors. The FMCSA defines chameleon carriers as entities that "successively obtain and relinquish operating authority to evade enforcement actions." Shippers and brokers should verify carrier authority, insurance coverage, and safety ratings before every load tender — Truck Graph's Risk Check tool provides instant verification against all available compliance data.
