Trade Shows are lots of work, but they can generate lots of new business for their participants.贸易展览有很多的工作，但它们可以产生大量的新业务的参与者。 In addition to the expense of staffing your booth, food, lodging, display, travel, etc. you need to consider how will you transport your equipment to and from the event.除了牺牲的工作人员您的展台，食品，住宿，展示，旅游，等你需要考虑如何将你的运输设备和活动。 This sounds like a simple task, but few freight carriers deliver to trade shows.这听起来像一个简单的任务，但很少货运航空公司交付的贸易展览。 Why don't many carriers ship to trade shows?为什么不许多承运人的船舶贸易展览？ Anytime you have lots of businesses shipping to the same destination on the same day there will be problems.无论什么时候，你有很多航运企业的同一目的地在同一天将会有问题。 Every hour the driver must wait in line to unload their delivery will cost the shipper extra money and delay the remaining deliveries in the trailer.每个小时的司机必须排队等候卸货及其运载工具将耗资托运人额外资金和延误交货，其余的拖车。 This "waiting charge" is in addition to the freight quote given by the freight forwarder or carrier.这“等待费”此外，运费的报价所给予货代或承运人。

As a general rule shippers should only be charged waiting fees 30% - 40% of the time.作为一般规则托运人只应收取等候费的30 ％ -4 0％的时间。 Some of the larger conventions and trade shows incur wait times of four to six hours.一些较大的公约和贸易展览招致等候时间4至6小时。 The hourly charge, depending on the location, could be $30.00 - $100.00 an hour.每小时收费，这取决于位置，可以$ 30.00 -$ 1 00.00一个小时。 Remember that you will need to transport your shipment to the convention center and return the shipment also.请记住，您需要将您的货物运输的会展中心和归还货物也。 Waiting charges can occur on both the delivery and the return trip.等待可能发生的费用都交付和回程。

When counting the cost to participate as a vendor in a trade show remember to budget for the waiting time.当计数的成本作为一个供应商在展会记得预算的轮候时间。 There is only one trade show Logistics Company I know of that doesn't charge any wait times.只有一个贸易展物流公司我所知道的，不收取任何等待时间。 They charge a little more on the front end, but they accept all of the risk of the wait time charges.他们收取多一点的前端，但是他们接受的所有风险，等待时间收费。 All of the other trade show logistics services do pass on the waiting fees of the carriers.所有其他贸易展的物流服务通过等待收费的运营商。

There are some carriers that inflate the waiting time charges consistently.还有一些运营商虚报的轮候时间收费一致。 Let's say a driver had four shipments to a convention center in New York and had to wait four hours to unload his truck.比方说，一名司机有四个出货量的会展中心在纽约和等待了4个小时卸下他的卡车。 The ethical thing to do would be to charge each shipment a one hour waiting fee.道德的事情将收取每次装运一小时等候费。 Since none of the four shippers knows how long the driver must wait or how many shipments are being delivered there is no recourse for the shippers to challenge the wait time fees.由于没有四托运人知道多久，司机必须等待，或者有多少出货量正在交付没有追索权的托运人挑战等待时间收费。 If the driver is charging $100.00 an hour they just made an extra $1,200.00 in profits.如果驱动程序收费$ 100.00一个小时，他们刚刚做了额外的一千二百点〇 〇美元利润。 If the wait time is inflated the profits are increased even more.如果等待时间是夸大的利润增长甚至更多。 If you are consistently getting charged high waiting time fees I suggest you find another carrier.如果您是一贯越来越高收费等候时间收费，我建议你另找承运人。
