What is drayage and CWT? Are there ways to save money?
Drayage is the charge for moving your exhibit materials from the dock to your booth and moving your materials back again. It is calculated on a CWT basis (per hundred weight, or fraction thereof) per shipment, and varies depending on the type of shipment, the amount of handling, and the time of day. Be sure to review these costs when you prepare your show budget. You can contact GES in advance to get an estimate of these charges.
