We Know Trade Show Shipping

Comparing shipping quotes? That low quote may not account for the realities of shipping to a trade show. Strict move-in schedules, venue access requirements, delivery timing, and unexpected fees can all impact the final cost of getting your materials to and from an event.

Freeman Transportation helps exhibitors navigate show-site logistics, deadlines, scheduling requirements, and potential costs upfront, helping reduce surprises and keep your event on track.

Ship Up to 30 Days Before the Event

Skip the stress of coordinating delivery during busy move-in windows. Exhibitors can send freight to the advance warehouse up to 30 days before the event, where Freeman will securely receive it, provide arrival notifications, and coordinate delivery directly to the booth when it’s time to move in.

Advance warehouse services are available for most events. Check your event's shipping information to confirm available options.

Save More When You Bundle Roundtrip Shipping

Roundtrip Ready is our program designed to simplify exhibit shipping from move-in to move-out. By bundling inbound and outbound freight through Freeman Transportation, exhibitors may qualify for 10% savings on roundtrip shipping and 10% off eligible material handling fees. Restrictions may apply.

FAQs: Freeman Transportation®

Any special shipping discounts apply only to roundtrip domestic shipping. Because discounted pricing is determined on a show by show basis, eligibility must be confirmed for each event with your Freeman Transportation representative. For some events, roundtrip discounts may apply to shipping only, or to shipping and material handling, depending on show eligibility. Only LTL (less than truckload) ground shipments qualify for discounted shipping offers. 



**The Roundtrip Ready offer becomes effective February 1, 2026. Shows before this date are not eligible, and this offer is not valid on previously completed or ordered shipments. Discounts apply only to qualifying roundtrip shipping booked on or after the program’s effective date and meeting all show-level eligibility requirements. 

All shipping quotes are valid for 10 days as long as the parameters provided at the time of quoting remain accurate. Shipments are billed based on actual weight. While there is no required shipment weight minimum, every shipment is subject to a 100 pound minimum charge. 

† While we make every effort to outline all expected charges in advance, additional fees may apply depending on your shipment’s specific needs. These can include redelivery fees, liftgate fees, declared value coverage, residential delivery fees, and reconsignment fees if the delivery address changes after freight has shipped. Locations without a loading dock or forklift will incur a liftgate charge, and shipments originating from or returning to California will include a California compliance charge. This is not an exhaustive list, and other charges may be assessed based on shipment requirements. 

Freeman reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Roundtrip Ready program at any time with or without prior notice.
