Exhibit and Display Services

Part of Certified Van Service's specialized transportation capabilities are Exhibit and Display or Tradeshow services. Servicing the United States and Canada, utilizing our own fleet, and the Atlas Van Lines Tradeshow fleet we boast a 99.2% on-time delivery record. We recognize and address the unique characteristics of tradeshow shipments.

We know that when one of our customers entrusts their tradeshow shipment to us, they are depending on us to get them on site, on-time, with their display in showroom condition. We recognize that attending a tradeshow can represent a huge investment and our customer is seeking huge returns from their attendance at a given show. There is no room for error when it comes to handling these sensitive shipments.

At Certified Van Service, Inc., and at Atlas Van Lines, we handle tradeshows with a dedicated dispatch group and a dedicated tradeshow fleet. Our dispatchers understand the importance of what they are doing; they understand and are prepared for last minute release of a shipment and tight delivery schedules that must be met. Our drivers in the tradeshow fleet are highly trained not only in how to handle shipments safely, but also in how to negotiate their way in and out of a tradeshow site.

We offer direct pick-up in and out of convention centers. We can offer you the opportunity to work on your exhibit booth and prepare for the show for a longer period of time while helping you avoid excess handling and costly drayage charges. All of our trailers have specialized on board equipment that enables us to make deliveries right onto the show floors. We offer on-site representation at all major shows to ensure shipments that are traveling to and from shows on our fleets are getting on and off the floor on a timely basis.

At Certified Van Service, Inc., we can help you plan your entire year's show schedule as well as your individual shipments. With a nationwide network of warehouses, for short or long term storage we can help you keep your transportation budget in line as well as reduce the wear and tear on your exhibit when we help you plan your schedule in advance. We specialize in servicing shipments on tour as well as private events. Our tradeshow fleet, with its environmental control units, also moves shipments of fine arts, collectibles and fine antiques.

We provide direct pick-up and delivery to and from exhibition centers and offer an extended valuation coverage program through EXHlBlTGuard to insure your valuable properties. The EXHlBlTGuard Protection Program provides comprehensive insurance coverage against damage for exhibit properties and products. Coverage applies per interstate transit segment, and inbound protection covers while in transit (via Atlas) to the show, while being drayed to the booth area, during installation and during the show. Outbound protection provides coverage during dismantle, while being drayed from the booth and while in transit (via Atlas). Protection also applies if shipment is in storage in an Atlas warehouse or at the drayage contractor's warehouse, and when the drayage contractor is responsible for shuttling between warehouse and show hall. The maximum coverage available is $200,000, with a $1,000 deductible for theft or loss if inventoried items, although damages to shipping containers are excluded. The benefits provided by EXHlBlTGuard are extensive, including an All-Risk policy offering coverage for all phases of a tradeshow. The cost of coverage is only $3.50 per $1,000 of valuation per transit segment. Similar programs range between $4.50 and $6.00 for each $1,000 of valuation declared per transit segment. Protection may be purchased for one or both interstate transit segments as required, although the customer is not required to purchase for round-trip transit. Similar protection plans do not include coverage when in storage contractor's warehouse, and will either charge additionally for or will not cover shuttling between the drayage contractor's warehouse and show hall. There is never a deductible for damage protection when covered by EXHlBlTGuard.
