You're absolutely right; The tradeshow process is unique and having a carrier that understands the marshalling process and the realistic timeline for your materials to arrive to you after being docked, will make it easier for you to avoid delays.

I would add that using a carrier that specializes in the trade show industry can help avoid these problems. Most often these carriers will alert you when your freight unloads at the dock (as opposed to checking in at the marshalling yard), which lets you rest easy that your pieces are at the show. These carriers are more costly than common carriers, and other no frills carriers, but they pay for themselves in saved time, and by never having to replace pieces that mysteriously never arrived at the show.
