Trade Show &
Event Freight
Booth materials, displays, and event equipment delivered to your move-in window and recovered after tear-down.
Thunder Road Express delivers trade show and event freight — booths, displays, crates, and equipment — in dedicated cargo vans timed to your venue's move-in window, with post-show tear-down pickup. We dispatch 24/7 from Chesterfield, Michigan, serving metro Detroit venues and regional show lanes into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

What We Solve
Move-In Windows
Miss the marshalling slot and the booth sits on the dock. We plan the run around the slot, not the day.
Show Site Rules
Venues have their own dock, badge, and labor rules. We confirm them before the van departs.
Tear-Down Chaos
Everyone leaves at once. Scheduling the pickup in advance keeps your crates from going missing.
Display Damage
Consolidated freight gets handled repeatedly. One van, one handling event at each end.

How It Works
- 01
Give Us the Show
Venue, hall, booth number, and your assigned move-in window.
- 02
Plan Backwards
We schedule pickup from your warehouse so arrival lands inside the window, not before or after.
- 03
Deliver On Slot
The dedicated van delivers to the dock or marshalling yard and captures a signature.
- 04
Recover After
We return at the agreed tear-down time and bring the freight back to your facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you deliver to convention centers and event venues?
- Yes. Thunder Road Express delivers booth materials, displays, and event equipment to convention centers, hotels, and venues across metro Detroit, and runs regional show lanes into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
- Can you handle both delivery and post-show pickup?
- Yes. We schedule the outbound delivery to your move-in window and return for tear-down pickup after the show closes.
- How much booth material fits in a cargo van?
- Our cargo van interior is roughly 74 inches long, 54 inches wide, and 70 inches tall. Most single-booth display kits, crates, and cases fit comfortably. Send dimensions if you are unsure.
- Can you meet a strict move-in time slot?
- Yes. Show marshalling yards enforce tight windows, so we build the run around your assigned time slot rather than a general delivery day.
- What if the show runs into a weekend?
- That is normal for events. We dispatch nights, weekends, and holidays at no scheduling penalty.
