Dry Van Convention Services
Enclosed truckload freight for the trade show floor. Built around the move-in clock.
The Default Mode for Most Convention Freight
Dry van handles the bulk of trade show transportation, and for good reason. It’s enclosed, protected from weather and road debris, and capable of moving everything from compact booth components to multi-pallet exhibit builds without complication.
What separates convention dry van from standard commercial dry van isn’t the trailer — it’s everything that happens around it. Dock targets. Marshaling yard timing. Show contractor coordination. Return freight that has to be picked up at 3 a.m. the night the show closes. We handle that side of it.
