Trade Show Transportation Differs from Standard Shipping
Trade show requirements can be complex and intimidating for new exhibitors. To ensure your exhibit materials arrive on time and at the correct location, event managers must adhere to complicated timelines and budgets. These unique challenges are best met by professional trade show shipping and logistics support.
Variables that Make Trade Show Shipping Unique
Detailed Show Kits
Trade show kits are complex, event-specific documents filled with detailed service options and intimidating deadlines. Exhibitors must choose between different options for labor, flooring, drayage, electricity placement, and internet use. One missed deadline or incorrect selection can cost thousands of dollars and cause event budget overruns. Legacy Logistics’ professional trade show support team helps exhibitors navigate trade show requirements and meet budget goals.
Advance Warehouse vs. Show Site Shipping
Understanding whether to ship directly to the show site or to the advance warehouse is a common struggle for exhibitors. The options effect an exhibitor’s event plan and must be made based on complex freight, timeline, and budget needs. With over 20 years of trade show experience, Legacy Logistics helps clients navigate event planning options to choose the best one for each timeline and budget.

Drayage or Material Handling
Drayage, often called material handling, is the round-trip charge exhibitors pay to transport shipments from the carrier’s truck to the event space. It also includes the return trip back to the carrier after the trade show is complete. This can be charged as a flat fee and account for up to 30% of the exhibitor’s show budget. Factors such as show location and labor agreements determine the rate. Legacy Logistics helps clients control event budgets by keeping extra charges to a minimum.

Shipping Trade Show Booths
Transporting a full trade show exhibit, including the booth and materials, from location to location is complex. With different shipment sizes, weights, and handling requirements, the full delivery costs can add up quickly for your company. To ensure you understand your full trade show transportation budget requirements and minimize extra charges, Legacy Logistics provides specialized trade show support for new and existing vendors.
