Material Handling Tips
© Copyright 2014 Freeman Expositions, Inc. Proprietary & Confidential.
Tips
• Load trucks systematically (backwards) last in, first out. Load carpet last so that
materials can be placed correctly the first time without additional material handling
charges.
• Obtain a tracking number and phone number from your carrier so you can track your
shipment. Make sure to instruct your driver to call you immediately if they experience
any delays.
• Weigh your shipment and obtain a certified weight ticket, this will save time in the
marshaling yard when your carrier checks in for delivery.

• Properly complete your Material Handling Agreement (MHA) at show site and drop it off
at the Freeman Service Desk before leaving. Never leave your Material Handling
Agreement (MHA) in your booth or attached to crates.
• Arrange to have your assigned carrier check in at the marshaling yard no later than 12
noon on the last day of move-out to avoid re-routing of your show shipment.
• Check all bills against orders. Do not sign anything in question and bring up all
questions to the Freeman Service Desk immediately while on show site.
