Landstar Express America Expedited Convention Services
When the original plan didn’t survive contact with the calendar. Rapid-response freight to recover the timeline and protect the show.
When Convention Freight Needs to Move Now
Carrier breakdowns. Weather delays. Production changes the day before move-in. A booth design that wasn’t finalized until 36 hours before targets opened. The list of things that put convention freight behind schedule is long, and the consequences are unforgiving — missed dock appointments, late penalties, an exhibit that doesn’t make the floor.
Expedited service through Landstar Express America is built for these exact moments. The job is straightforward: get the freight to the show in time, by whatever method makes that happen.

What Changes on an Expedited Run
Speed is the easy part. The hard part is the coordination around it — getting the truck onto a marshaling yard target that wasn’t built for late arrivals, working with show management when the timing tightens further, and keeping the customer informed every hour, not every twelve.
You’ll hear from us often on expedited freight. Including when there’s nothing new to report — just so you know we’re still on it.
