Execution Systems
Drayage covers moving freight from the loading dock to the actual booth space, work that at a venue like America's Center generally falls to the show's official material handler rather than the exhibitor's own crew.
Coordinating drayage well means understanding what the material handling agreement actually charges for, since fees are often assessed by weight and by handling category rather than as a flat per-shipment cost.
A bill of lading that accurately reflects what is on the truck is the exhibitor's best protection against a disputed drayage charge after the fact.
Drayage and Material Handling Coordination can cover the planning, vendor coordination, labor sequence, freight timing, graphics, technical needs, and on-site checks needed for a smoother St. Louis event.
Start as soon as the venue, event date, booth size, and internal approvals are known so production, shipping, service orders, and labor can be lined up cleanly.
The most useful details are booth size, venue, date, service needs, graphics status, freight requirements, AV needs, and whether the scope is a one-time event or repeat program.
Yes. Design, rentals, graphics, labor, AV, freight, storage, and show-site supervision can be planned together so the handoffs stay clear.

Share your crate count and weight so the bill of lading can be prepared accurately before freight ships.
