Drayage Cost Management at Orange County Convention Center

Drayage cost management at Orange County Convention Center is about understanding the official material handler's rate schedule. Charges hit per hundredweight (CWT), with separate rates for peak/off-peak, mountain handling, and certain forklift services. We model your booth's drayage cost before crating so there are no invoice surprises.

Not every WPPI Conference & Expo cycle accommodates consolidation — we tell you when it works and when it doesn't.

  • OCCC's North-South and West Concourse buildings, Camping World Stadium event floor, Amway/Kia Center concourses, and Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin convention space
  • OCCC's preferred contractor pool, IATSE Local 631 Orlando, and Central Florida independent crews
  • Orange County fire-marshal review for new structural elements typically clears in 7 business days at OCCC

Questions Buyers Ask

Do I need advance warehouse for WPPI Conference & Expo or can I ship direct?

Direct shipment to Orange County Convention Center during WPPI Conference & Expo's targeted move-in window works for small booths with simple drayage. We run the math both ways before recommending.

How early do we need to book freight for WPPI Conference & Expo?

Book freight 60-90 days before WPPI Conference & Expo for first-choice carriers and lanes. Inside 30 days, especially during Orlando's peak WPPI Conference & Expo season, carrier capacity tightens and rates climb. We file routing guides early to lock both.

How do you handle freight damage claims?

Recovery happens or we explain why it doesn't.

Can you consolidate freight with other exhibits at WPPI Conference & Expo?

Consolidation at WPPI Conference & Expo works when Orange County Convention Center's freight rules allow it — usually yes, but show-by-show variation exists. We model both ways.

What's the typical drayage cost for a 20x20 at WPPI Conference & Expo?

Drayage for a 20x20 custom build at WPPI Conference & Expo typically runs $1,200-$2,500 depending on freight weight, Orange County Convention Center's official material handler rate, and whether the booth includes hanging signs or oversized structural elements. We model drayage cost at proposal stage.
