Trade Show & Event Shipping
Trade show freight requires precise timing, careful handling, and coordination with venues and show schedules. Nexfr8 Brokerage supports exhibitors, event organizers, and production teams moving high-value materials to convention centers, hotels, and event sites nationwide.
Industrial Machinery
We ship large industrial machines used in production lines, processing facilities, and fabrication plants. These loads require securement expertise, proper equipment selection, and careful routing.
Manufacturing Equipment
Engineered lumber require careful handling due to length and load sensitivity. We coordinate appropriate trailer types and securement for long-span materials.
Plywood & OSB Panels
Sheet goods like plywood and OSB move as palletized or unitized freight and require protection from moisture and edge damage. We plan routes and equipment to minimize exposure during transit.
Treated & Specialty Lumber
Pressure-treated and specialty lumber often moves in heavier bundles and may require additional spacing or tarping. We ensure compliance with weight limits and proper load distribution.
Long-Length Lumber Loads
Oversized lumber exceeding standard trailer lengths requires open-deck equipment and experienced carriers. We manage securement, routing, and any required permits for extended loads.
Jobsite & Bulk Lumber Deliveries
Bulk lumber deliveries to active jobsites require precise scheduling and access planning. We coordinate delivery windows, site conditions, and unloading requirements to avoid delays.
What We Ship
Exhibit Booths & Structures
We ship modular and custom exhibit booths, frames, and structural components that require careful loading and securement. These shipments often involve tight delivery windows and strict venue handling requirements.
Display Cases & Crated Exhibits
Crated displays and enclosed exhibit materials require controlled handling to prevent damage. We coordinate dock appointments and ensure proper unloading procedures at convention centers.
Event Technology & AV Equipment
We transport lighting, audio, video walls, and interactive tech used at trade shows and live events. These high-value shipments are scheduled to meet precise setup timelines.
Promotional Materials & Marketing Assets
This includes signage, banners, kiosks, printed materials, and branded displays. We ensure organized delivery so marketing teams can move straight into setup without delays.
Product Samples & Demo Units
We move demo products and sample inventory used for displays, presentations, and hands-on demonstrations. These loads often require secure transport and careful unloading at the venue.
Return & Post-Show Freight
After events conclude, we coordinate return shipping, storage moves, or onward delivery to the next show location. This helps exhibitors reset quickly and stay on schedule.
Trade Show Transport Options

Used for oversized booth components, staging materials, and large exhibit structures that exceed enclosed trailer dimensions.

Ideal for crated exhibits, marketing materials, and boxed event assets requiring enclosed protection during transit.
