Truck Driving in Philadelphia

Philadelphia anchors the Northeast Corridor between NYC and DC. Growing port volume via PhilaPort, heavy pharma distribution, and dense low-clearance urban geography.

PhilaPort

Packer Avenue Marine Terminal handles containers; Tioga handles autos and forest products. TWIC + terminal ID required.

Truck Routes

Center City has multiple posted truck routes. I-676 (Vine Street Expressway) is truck-legal but low-clearance sections in the Chinatown tunnel — verify height. Kelly Drive/West River Drive are car-only.

Tolls

PA Turnpike, Delaware River bridges (DRPA — Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman, Betsy Ross, Commodore Barry). All EZ-Pass.

Parking

King of Prussia, Bordentown NJ, Woodstown NJ. Center-city truck parking is virtually nonexistent.
