This service can be provided by any carrier and involves the pickup of freight and its delivery to either the advanced warehouse or directly to the show site.

Material handling is the management of exhibit freight within the event facility, to and from the booth location.

Shepard is the exclusive Material Handling (Drayage) contractor permitted on the show floor. Shepard will receive all shipments, whether consigned in advance to their warehouse or sent directly to the Exhibit Hall. The material handling includes receiving exhibit materials, delivering them to exhibit spaces, removing and storing empty containers, returning empty cartons and crates, and delivering shipments to the dock for pickup by outbound freight carriers. Please find more information in the Exhibitor Resource Center.
