Compare the agreed freight scope with the receiving, handling and return arrangements your event requires. The items below may be included when specified in your proposal; they are not automatic inclusions.
| Service | May Be Included | Confirm Separately |

Final inclusions, carrier charges, receiving arrangements, special handling, and third-party fees are defined in the written transportation proposal.
List crates, skids, loose components and accessories so the shipment can be checked at each handoff.
Provide packed dimensions and weights, including oversized, fragile or non-stackable items.
Confirm the origin address, loading access, pickup contact and when the shipment will be ready.
Identify the show, venue, receiving address and required delivery window.
Share the exhibitor manual, advance-warehouse or direct-to-show instructions, labels and delivery references.
Flag handling constraints and confirm whether the shipment returns to storage, travels to another event or goes to another approved address.
Exhibitsmax can arrange or coordinate these transportation options around your packed shipment, pickup location and event schedule. We review carrier availability and receiving requirements before confirming the service.
Less-than-truckload shipping may suit crated or palletized exhibit components that do not need a dedicated vehicle. Review packed dimensions, weight, stackability, protection and the available transit window when evaluating an LTL option.
A dedicated vehicle may suit a larger shipment or a project requiring a specific loading and delivery plan. Confirm vehicle capacity, loading access, securing requirements and pickup and receiving appointments against the actual inventory.
For a short shipping window or schedule change, we can review time-critical options with carriers. Feasibility depends on shipment readiness, route, available capacity and the show’s receiving window; expedited transport does not override venue access rules.
Share crate dimensions, weights, ready date and required arrival date so we can compare suitable options. Carrier transit, event material handling and installation remain separate responsibilities unless explicitly included in the agreed scope.
Review event schedules, venue requirements, and delivery deadlines to develop a customized transportation plan.
Confirm all booth components, graphics, furniture, and accessories before shipment to ensure nothing is missing.
Professionally pack and protect exhibit materials to minimize the risk of damage during transit.
Arrange transportation, carrier scheduling, material handling, and delivery appointments with the exhibition venue.
Monitor available carrier tracking and confirm key shipment milestones with the project team.
Coordinate delivery to the advance warehouse or show site according to the event’s receiving instructions and schedule.
Coordinate with installation teams to ensure all exhibit components are received and ready for booth setup.
Manage exhibit return shipping, storage transfers, or transportation to the next event after the show concludes.
Booth components, graphics, AV equipment and accessories are organized and protected for transportation based on their size, weight and handling requirements.
Crates and major exhibit components are documented before pickup so the project team can verify what is shipping and what should arrive at the venue.
Shipping labels, booth information, receiving instructions and carrier documentation are prepared around the show’s freight requirements.
After production and pre-show checks, the factory handoff focuses on dispatch readiness. Match the packed inventory, crate labels, dimensions and weights to the shipping instructions. Confirm the pickup contact, loading access and actual ready date with the carrier before releasing freight for the agreed receiving window.
Carrier arrival, venue receiving and delivery to the booth are different handoffs. We align freight references, on-site contacts and target delivery windows with the installation team so the crew can plan around material availability. Venue material handling is coordinated with the event’s designated provider according to the current exhibitor manual.
Before move-out, confirm the destination, outbound carrier, packing plan, labels and required release paperwork. Dismantling, empty-container return and carrier pickup must fit the show’s schedule; a booked truck alone does not complete the outbound handoff. For a trade show booth rental, confirm the return destination and timing for rented components as part of the outbound plan.

Warehouse receiving → transfer to the venue → booth delivery
Venue receiving → unloading and booth delivery
Freight is sent to the show’s designated warehouse during its published receiving window, then transferred to the venue under the event’s material-handling arrangements.
Freight goes to the venue during the permitted receiving or target window. Plan carrier arrival around show-site access, unloading and installation timing.
Review the current exhibitor manual, production finish date, route, receiving deadlines and installation plan. Charges and restrictions are event-specific.
A carrier moves the packed exhibit from its pickup location to the designated advance warehouse or show-site receiving point. Confirm the pickup, destination, shipment details and delivery window in the transportation scope.
Material handling covers movement within the event’s receiving and show-floor arrangements. It may include unloading, booth delivery, empty-container handling and outbound loading, depending on the show’s service terms.
A freight booking does not automatically include delivery inside the booth, installation or venue services. Identify who orders each service, who receives the freight and which charges are included in the proposal.
Confirm material-handling inclusions and charges with the show contractor before booking. For background, see Freeman’s freight and material-handling guide. The AHR Expo official shipping overview provides an event-specific example; always use the manual for your own show and year.
Freight is the transportation of your shipment to or from the show destination. Drayage, also called material handling, is the venue-side movement from the receiving point to the booth and is normally ordered and billed separately.
It depends on the event schedule, receiving rules, production timing and carrier route. We review the exhibitor manual and project dates before recommending the lower-risk option.
Yes. The outbound plan can cover return to storage, delivery to another event or shipment to an approved destination. Instructions and labels should be confirmed before move-out.
We need pickup and delivery locations, dates, crate count, dimensions, weights, show information and any special handling requirements. Final cost may also depend on waiting time, re-delivery or venue restrictions.
These projects included exhibit transportation alongside booth production and show-site services. Explore each case for the booth layout and project scope.
