Work rules and customs vary from one city to another. As the Official Service Contractor, Freeman has the responsibility for material handling and booth cleaning services. Below is information we hope will assist you in planning for the Las Vegas event.
Labor Source
As an exhibitor, you may choose to utilize your own personnel to set-up and dismantle your exhibit. If full-time company personnel are utilized to set an exhibit, they should carry positive company identification, such as a medical identification card
or payroll stub. If you need to secure Freeman Labor, labor can be ordered in advance by returning the Display Labor order form or on show site, at the Freeman Service Desk.
Material Handling
Exhibitors may "hand-carry" material into the facility. Hand carry is defined as small items such as cartons and packages that an exhibitor is able to carry. Any mechanical assistance is limited to a small dolly. The assistance of any motorized device
or pallet jack is not permitted. When exhibitors choose to "hand carry" they may not access designed material handling areas. They must use specified exhibitor hand carry areas or the main entrance of the facility. Freeman will control access
to the loading docks in order to provide for a safe and orderly move in/out.
Rates
Material Handling: The delivery and removal of freight from the loading dock to exhibit space is called material handling. Material handling rates are charged per 200 pounds (cwt) or fraction thereof. All material handling rates include removal
of empty crates/cartons and storage during the show by Freeman.
Direct Shipment $89.00 (Crated or Skidded Shipment): Shipments received at the exhibit hall from exhibitors’ carriers.
Advance Warehouse Shipments $94.75 (Crated or Skidded Shipment): Shipments received at the material handling contractor’s warehouse within one month of the show will be delivered to the exhibit hall. Rate includes up to 30 days storage, delivery
to the exhibit space, removal and storage of empty containers, return of such containers at the close of the expositions, and load-out after dismantle. These services are provided only by the Official Material Handling Contractor.
Overtime Outbound Shipments: A surcharge of 25 percent would be added for all shipments handled during overtime labor conditions.
