More about drayage

Drayage fees vary in range depending on the show location are based on the weight of an exhibitor's booth. Because it can be difficult to estimate/budget for drayage from year to year, it is included in your space fee.

Below is a chart detailing what drayage would cost with varying weights of freight based on rates for the 2012 Las Vegas event. In some instances, drayage would cost as much or more than an exhibitor's booth space fee.

Please note: The amount you are charged for your warehouse freight is based on the square footage of your booth.
