Exhibiting in San Diego: what to know
What we check for every San Diego show, with sources. We handle all of it as part of the all-in price.
How drayage is billed
Drayage (material handling) is billed per hundredweight (cwt = 100 lb), rounded up to the next 100 lb, usually with a 200 lb (2 cwt) minimum per shipment; it covers moving freight from dock or warehouse to the booth, storing empty crates, and returning it to the dock after the show. Cost = rate x (weight / 100). Special handling (uncrated, loose, ground unload) and overtime cost more; late arrivals after the warehouse deadline get a surcharge. Some contractors (Freeman, GES Material Handling+) now bill per pound instead of per cwt.
Labor rules
- SfN 2022 at SDCC: one full-time exhibitor employee may work 1 hour at move-in and 1 hour at move-out without carpenters, on any booth size; no tools (drills, saws, etc.) allowed on any booth source
- Beyond that, display installation is carpenters'-union work; your staff may work alongside a union installer one-to-one source
- Teamsters run all material handling equipment, unloading/reloading and empty crates; hand-carry only what one person carries in one trip, no dollies or hand trucks; hand-carry access is on the J Street side source
Drayage (moving your freight to the booth)
Shipping deadlines
- HFA Show 2026 at SDCC (Freeman): the warehouse will not accept uncrated freight or single pieces over 5,000 lb; certified weight tickets required source
Rules and rates change by show. Your show's exhibitor kit is the final word; we check it for you before we quote.
