Marshalling yard
The kit points drivers to a separate marshalling yard section rather than printing it; no yard address or check-in hours appear in this document, so request them from Freeman before dispatch.

Not sure which door fits your freight?

Tell us the origin, the pieces and the date it can leave. We will tell you whether the advance warehouse or direct to show makes more sense for FABTECH, and quote it.

Move-out

Move-out: Oct 23 – 26, 2026

Outbound freight needs two things before the booth is packed: a completed material handling agreement turned in to the show contractor, and your carrier’s bill of lading and labels on the freight. Freight on the floor without both when the hall clears is forced onto the contractor’s carrier at their rate. Book the outbound carrier before the show opens, not on the last day.

How a DTS quote works

  1. Tell us about the freight

    Where it ships from, how many pieces, rough weight and size, and whether it goes to the advance warehouse or direct to the show.

  2. Pick a carrier option

    We come back with carrier options and pricing timed to this show’s deadlines. You choose the one that fits the freight and the budget.

  3. We stay on it until it arrives

    We book the carrier, set up the bill of lading and labels, and keep you posted until the warehouse or show dock signs for it. Same again for the trip home after move-out.
