Marshaling Yard for Trucks and NON-Privately Owned Vehicles

What is a marshaling yard? The Marshaling Yard is an offsite location where trucks are checked in and held until dock space for unloading becomes available onsite.

Why is a marshaling yard used? Large shows use a marshaling yard to ease vehicle congestion and to ensure the unloading process runs smoothly.

  • There is no charge for this Marshaling Yard service.
  • Avoid late charges by checking the Show Schedule for arrival dates and times.

The Marshaling Yard Process:

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

  • All delivering carriers must check in at the Marshaling Yard prior to show site deliveries. All inbound shipments will be weighed at the Marshaling 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 Marshaling Yard, drivers will be assigned a number and will be dispatched to the appropriate dock at Baltimore Convention Center as space is available. Waiting time at the Marshaling 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 at the Baltimore Convention Center, the number of booths on a truck, etc.
  • All drivers are expected to adhere to GES' policies and procedures with respect to the loading and unloading of trailers.
  • All Privately Owned Vehicles (POV) needing to unload at the receiving dock must check in at the POV lot. If "self-unloading" please see Hand Carry/Cartload and Privately Owned Vehicle Service Instructions for details.
  • Privately Owned Vehicles (POV) needing Cartload Service must check into the Marshaling Yard Lot (M&T Bank Stadium in Lot O) prior to coming into the receiving dock or you will be turned away.
