Trucks staged at a convention center for a trade-show exhibit load-in

Show freight

Exhibit freight by show

A freight reference per show, built from the show's own published exhibitor kit: the advance-warehouse deadline, the move-in windows, the appointed general service contractor, and the line where the carrier's job ends and the show's drayage begins. Capital Site Logistics coordinates the over-the-road leg with an FMCSA-authorized carrier, quoted per lane.

Shows with a published freight reference

How a show run is planned

Backward from the kit, not from the truck

Every show sets its own deadlines, and they are the fixed points a run is planned around: an advance-warehouse cutoff weeks before the show opens, or an assigned direct-to-venue move-in window measured in hours. Miss either and the freight waits — which is why each show reference here starts from the published kit rather than from a truck's availability. The trade-offs between those two paths are laid out in advance warehouse vs. direct to show.

One boundary holds at every show: Capital Site Logistics coordinates the over-the-road freight leg to the advance warehouse or the venue dock, matched to an FMCSA-authorized carrier. The move from that dock or marshalling yard to your booth — drayage — is controlled by the show's appointed general service contractor, not by the carrier. Knowing where that line falls is most of what keeps a load-in on schedule, and it is covered for the building itself in the Orange County Convention Center venue guide.
