Unless freight is actually going overseas, both small manufacturing companies and large corporations are turning to expedited ground transportation as their #1 way to move their cargo.  Why? “Because its cheaper, just as reliable and the transit time is usually the same or maybe a day or two longer,” says one customer.  “So many times I book with a major airline for air freight and it gets bumped, which can cause another 1-2 day delay.”

Multidelivery01 Express understands your freight needs and has been handling these type of expedited cargo requests for over 11 years.  And in this changing time of cargo transportation, we continue to lead the way with new networks and routes to serve your needs, plus were supporting US jobs and partner companies owned/operated in the USA.  Of course, we still offer an array of solid air freight services (with size and weight restrictions like everyone else), but we can offer expedited routes to some of your most popular destinations.  Here is a sample of some LTL ground transit times to hot destinations out of the southern California area (dedicated trucks, samedays and specials available as well)…

1. The most important thing to determine for each and every show is: What is your objective – for THIS show?

2. The main job of your booth graphics is to grab the attention of a visitor long enough to bring them into your booth to learn more.

3. Look at your exhibit as if standing in a visitor’s shoes and ask: What’s in it for ME?

4. Tradeshow floor selling is chaotic. Sometimes the worst tradeshow sales people are your regular sales people.

5. A crowd attracts a crowd. What can you do to create a crowd at your booth?

6. One media ‘hit’ can make your whole tradeshow. What are you doing to get the media involved?

7. Engage your visitors by asking open-ended questions that relate to your product or service.

1st Party: The Supplier
2nd Party: The Company buying the product that is being stored or shipped
3rd Party Logistics Provider (3PL): The company that provides warehousing and transportation outsourcing.
4th Party Logistics Provider (4PL): The majority of people would agree that 4PL is little more than logistics consultant speak, but nevertheless here is the official definition courtesy of Accenture:
“A 4PL is an integrator that assembles the resources, capabilities, and technology of its own organization and other organizations to design, build and run comprehensive supply chain solutions.”

The latest jargon that is now gaining adoption is that of the Logistics Service Provider and Lead Logistics Provider…A Logistics Service Provider (LSP) is really what most people would see as a traditional 3PL provider offering a combination of warehousing and transportation services or one or the other. As global and multi national providers enter the game, things have certainly changed, but the Logistics Service Provider at its core is fundamentally the same. A Lead Logistics Provider (LLP) is the new term that consultants now more frequently use instead of 4PL. At the most basic level a Lead Logistics Provider is nothing more than a Non-Asset Based 3PL, but there is certainly an emerging field of logistics providers that oversee and manage a portfolio of warehousing and transportation providers from a higher level. At the end of the day you can call 3PL providers whatever you want but its still about storing and shipping things.

Once you have selected a carrier based on your research, review your exhibitor’s manual for the show’s shipping, delivery and timing requirements.

Advanced logistics planning will help save costs, as well as help ensure adequate time for set-up at the show venue. If you wait until the last minute, you may pay a surcharge for expedited transportation and delivery. When you schedule your shipping, make arrangements at the same to have your carrier handle return shipping of your exhibit crates and items.

To help ensure smooth transport, prominently label all of your crates, boxes and exhibit items. In addition to your destination address — and the name of the actual event in which you are participating — include your company name, address and phone number on every crate and box.

Also, you will likely want to insure your exhibit cargo any time you transport it from storage to a show site — and back.

Once your exhibit items arrive at the event venue, there are specific procedures your carrier must follow for delivery to the loading dock. Instructions are included in your exhibitor’s manual so be sure to fully brief your carrier on arrival details. Once your exhibit crates and materials are off-loaded, the show’s contracted drayage company is typically responsible for:
