To help efficiently manage the move-in and move-out of this event, Freeman is offering Cart Service. Please read the information below carefully to confirm qualifications, availability, and directions.
Definition
Cart service is when workers equipped with a flat cart scooter will assist exhibitors with unloading. Each cart will handle a load approximately 3' wide x 4' long x 3' high. Freight must not exceed 300 lbs. For safety reasons, it will be the judgment of the freight supervisor if the load can go higher than 3 feet. Cart Service includes storage of empty cardboard/product boxes at no additional charge. Empty stickers for your cartons and cases will be provided for this service.
Shipments eligible for cart service are those delivered in a privately owned vehicle (POV). Privately owned vehicles are defined as cars, pick-up trucks, vans, and other trucks primarily designed for passenger use, not cargo or freight. Vehicles that do not qualify for this service, or that have material that requires mechanical assistance to unload, will be directed to the loading docks or Freeman Marshalling Yard.
Rates
This service is available at a round trip rate of $000.00 per trip (from the dock to the booth and the booth to the dock).
Procedures
To receive this service, proceed directly to the facility and check in at the designated Cart Service Check-in area for staging, checking in, processing paperwork and determining if vehicles are qualified for Cart Service. There will be signage posted to direct you.
Two people must be with the vehicle - one to accompany the product to the booth and one to remove the vehicle from the area.
The determination of Cart Service versus Material Handling will be made at the discretion of Freeman management. Any disputes will be handled at the time of unloading.
Availability
Cart Service will be available during move-in and move-out.
Please visit the Freeman Service Center to complete and/or submit a Material Handling Agreement for your outbound shipment.
Please note: We anticipate that during peak periods, wait time can exceed 2-3 hours.
