The Challenge of Trade Show Logistics

Trade show logistics leave no room for error. Exhibits and display properties must arrive within targeted move‑in schedules, and venue and marshaling yard requirements, often with last minute changes. A single delay or damaged shipment can stall your setup and drain your budget before the doors even open.

With extensive trade show expertise, the Legacy team understands the unique demands of trade show event logistics. Our well-organized planning approach, combined with experience and attention to detail, ensure seamless timing and coordination for every trade show shipment.

Single Point of Contact

Your dedicated Account Manager serves as your single point of contact from planning through delivery, working closely with our Operations team to ensure every detail runs smoothly.

Pre-Pickup Planning and Documentation

Routing, trailer and driver assignments, bills of lading, certified weight tickets are confirmed by your dedicated account manager, and show details are confirmed before your shipment leaves its origin.

Support Between Shows

Warehousing and staging options are available to receive, hold, and redeliver trade show exhibits between events.

The Benefits of Partnering With Legacy

Pre-Pickup Coordination

Before pickup, your Account Manager reviews targeted move-in schedules, marshaling yard requirements, venue restrictions, and shipment-specific handling needs with your team. Our Operations team verifies routing, driver assignment, trailer selection, and required documentation. This structured preparation reduces risk and ensures shipment timing remains on track.

Shipment Oversight

Once your shipment is enroute to the venue, our Operations team manages execution by coordinating directly with drivers and warehouse personnel. They reinforce timing expectations, routing details, documentation requirements, and handling details established during planning. Your Account Manager serves as your single point of contact, providing updates and maintaining communication as your shipment progresses toward the show site.

Rapid Response to Schedule Changes

When show schedules shift, venue instructions change, or timing requires adjustment, your Account Manager relays updated information promptly. Operations adapts routing, driver timing, or other logistics as needed to keep your shipment on track. This coordinated response helps minimize delays and keeps your shipment moving on schedule.
