Any deliveries needed during this period will need to be scheduled with GES preshow. To schedule your delivery during this period, please contact Scott Wynette at (702)591-6000 prior to show installation. GES will work with your carrier to make arrangements to deliver direct to show site provided there is dock availability.

If you need to contact GES personnel during the October 1st - October 2nd period with a marshaling yard question, please call Crystal Williams at (301) 331-6185.

It is important that you advise your carrier of this Marshalling Yard information to better facilitate your direct shipment to showsite.


The Marshalling Yard process is as follows:

  • All delivering carriers and privately owned vehicles must check in at the Marshalling Yard prior to show site deliveries.
  • All inbound shipments will be weighed at the Marshalling Yard to obtain the gross or heavy weight.
  • All inbound shipments must be accompanied by a certified weight certificate and Bill of Lading.
  • At the Marshalling Yard, drivers will be assigned a number and will be dispatched to the appropriate dock as space is available. Waiting time at the Marshalling Yard should be anticipated by your carrier. Every effort is made to keep this waiting time at a minimum. However, the waiting time depends on many factors, including the number of vehicles arriving to unload/load, the type of loads being unloaded, the number of booths on a truck, etc.
  • After unloading, all vehicles must return to the Marshalling Yard with a completed copy of the GES Receiving Report to be weighed to obtain the light weight. This determines the total weight of your shipment. Drivers who fail to return to weigh-out may face having their shipment billed at the heavy weight.
  • All drivers are expected to adhere to GES' policies and procedures with respect to the loading and unloading of trailers.
