Important Information Regarding Off Target and Roadworthy Vehicles

Off Target Display Vehicle Load In

If you are unable to make the display vehicle move in time for your zone (posted in the Critical Planning Schedule), you must notify ausa@ges.com. You will work with GES on an alternate date and time to move in your vehicle. You will still be required to offload at the marshaling yard and are responsible for arranging your own police escort. The standard vehicle spotting fee of $338.00 will be doubled to $676.00 and you will be responsible for any forklift and freight labor costs needed to facilitate the move in of your vehicle - i.e. shuffling crates out of the way to make a path for your vehicle from the loading dock to your booth space. Please keep in mind that the ST/Show Site forklift rate is $574.00 per hour and the ST/Show Site freight labor rate is $166.75 per hour.

Roadworthy Vehicle Show Site Unloading

All roadworthy units will be offloaded at the marshaling yard and driven to the Convention Center in escorted convoys according to Zone. All roadworthy units are required to offload at the marshaling yard and drive in the convoy to show site. Offloading at show site of roadworthy vehicles is not permitted. However, GES does understand that extenuating situations do occur so requests must be made in writing to ausa@ges.com requesting your roadworthy vehicle be unloaded at the Convention Center. Please note, if your roadworthy vehicle is unloaded at the Center (with prior permission from GES) the standard vehicle spotting fee of $338.00 will be doubled to $676.00. If your vehicle is roadworthy but does not have valid license plates, you will still be required to notify ausa@ges.com and will be responsible for the increased vehicle spotting fee. It is our intention to move as many units as possible to the Convention Center under their own power, via convoy, to minimize congestion in the dock area and expedite the move in process. GES representatives will organize and dispatch convoys (number to be determined based on total number of units per zone). Please note, if you miss the main vehicle convoy, you will be responsible for the costs of the additional police escort.
