Exhibit freight for Illinois shows
Large Chicago shows run on organized schedules, and freight needs the right labels and paperwork to move through. We plan pickup against your exhibitor manual and make sure the crates carry the information the show needs.
Chicago winters can delay trucks and harm freight that should not freeze. We add transit time on winter moves, and we protect screens and liquids against the cold.
Planning a Illinois show shipment
Match your labels to the paperwork in your exhibitor manual, and add transit days for winter shows.
Send the show name, venue, move-in and move-out dates, pickup ZIP code and a list of what is shipping, and we will recommend the delivery option and timing. We are an independent carrier and are not the official contractor for any venue or show.
