Trade Show Transportation Company
We provide trade show setup and transportation services, globally, professionally. We ensure that the pickup and delivery of your cargo will not be a logistical nightmare.
There is no such thing as a “margin for error” when putting your best foot forward during a trade show. Just send us your freight, product equipment, staging, or booth, and we’ll store it until you need it at the event.
We provide tailored transportation solutions for time-sensitive trade shows and event materials. We see ourselves as contributors to your success and aim to deliver the most satisfactory service possible.
Our team is not just bringing your materials to an event; we’re also transporting your brand’s image, which requires perfection, which is our goal.
Trade Show Freight Delivery
Trade shows are a great way to promote your company and its products. Don’t go at it alone and don’t rely on general shipping or couriers.
Hiring an international logistics company to handle the procedure is the way to go when a company wants to exhibit at a trade show. All Modes Transport is the perfect choice for timely delivery of your trade show freight anywhere in the world.
Our professionals handle all paperwork and scheduling, ensuring that your materials arrive on schedule and in good condition, and keep you informed and updated about your delivery. We can even book your freight on the carrier but at a savings of 25% to 75%, or even more.
Take advantage of huge discounts while receiving the same excellent service we provide to thousands of customers across the country.
Professional trade show setup service
Are you worried about setting up and exhibiting your booths for the trade show event? Stressing about the setup and take down of your trade show display booth might take up a lot of your time.
With us on your side, you never have to worry about your setting up your trade show. We have professional installation and dismantling crews who will set up your trade show booth in time for the event’s opening, with everything from pop-up displays to custom display systems. And later, disassemble your display unit and prepare it for shipping and storage when it’s time to pack up.
Our team understands how vital it is for you to network and meet new people.
That is why exhibitors trust us!
Trade show shipping costs
It’s unavoidably expensive to ship. Shipping accounts for 10–30% of your trade show budget. Shipping prices are never fixed; they are always an informed guess. However, if you understand the know-how of shipping costs, you can firmly take command and stay under your budget by planning ahead of time.
Fuel & waiting time
If you’re shipping your exhibit by truck, you’ll need to factor in the cost of fuel while planning your budget and the time spent by the truck driver in waiting. The time your driver spends in line at the yard or dock can add up quickly depending on the length of the line.
Advanced warehouse
If you send your exhibit to the advanced warehouse, you can prevent tension at the last minute by having your trade show display arrive early, but this increases the overall cost.
Excessive packages
Sending all of your things to ship with the display is a great way to save money on trade show delivery. Or send everything to the trade show booth rental company, which will use innovative packaging.
Extraneous items
Do not send unnecessary papers or literature to communicate your brand’s message. While having water bottles on hand may seem like a good idea, sending them with shipments might cause a thousand dollar increase in shipping costs.
Forced freight
Carriers will be required to leave the loading port if they have not finished loading freight by the deadline. This may cause shipments or storage at the exhibition’s warehouse, which is extremely expensive. Therefore, have everything ready for pack-up before leaving to avoid penalties, handling costs, shipping, and storage fees.
Drayage
Drayage is an unavoidable cost divided into price bands based on weight. Before shipping, check the weight of the packages again to ensure that including new items in crates has not changed the drainage weight bracket and thus increased shipping costs unduly.
Insurance
Find out what kind of insurance your cargo includes. If the insurance provided by the chosen carrier isn’t adequate, you can purchase full coverage insurance based on the replacement value of the trade show exhibit cargo.
When you consider all the above factors connected with trade exhibits, it’s entirely possible to set a budget and stick to it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible for you to transport directly to event venues?
We transport cargo to convention centers, hotels, fairgrounds, and other locations where your trade exhibit or event occurs.
Are you available for communication outside of show hours?
We provide total end-to-end interaction: we will communicate with your floor representatives, our drivers, and the decorator if needed to ensure the completion of your show.
When choosing a trade show shipping company, how essential is carrier selection?
Choosing a carrier is a significant decision. Trade show exhibits are typically transported on pricey, well-made carriers. You’ll have a couple of different options depending on the actual dimensional weight of your display.
Is it possible to transport directly from one trade event to another?
Yes. Inquire about a caravan or speed up shipping from one show to the next with your shipping company. Even if the carrier is not an established service provider, they may meet your requirements.
What is material handling or drayage?
The unloading and transportation of an exhibitor’s and show organizer’s displays to specific booths are known as drayage. This includes storing empty crates and boxes, redelivery of containers and boxes after the show, and transportation back to the docking station for shipping to the next destination.
