25 years moving exhibits to the show floor.

Family-operated since 2000, CTS moves 100+ trade shows a year across North America — from packaging machinery to mining rigs. These are the shows we know cold, and the industries we were built to serve.

The network

From the loading dock to the show floor.

Every show season we’re moving freight out of shipper facilities and into the country’s biggest convention centers — McCormick Place, the Las Vegas Convention Center, Georgia World Congress, and more. Here’s a live look at the lanes.

Why these industries

Heavy, high-value, deadline-bound freight.

Packaging, construction, woodworking, and mining all ship the same way: big crated machinery, real money on the line, and a move-in window that doesn’t move. That’s the freight we’ve built our reputation on — and why exhibitors in these industries keep handing us the keys.

Packaging & Processing freight
Packaging & Processing

Packaging & Processing

Packaging and processing lines ship as heavy, high-value, crated machinery on hard move-in windows — exactly the freight we’ve specialized in for 25 years.

PACK EXPO International

Among the largest packaging & processing events in the world.

PACK EXPO Las Vegas

Las Vegas · biennial

The West-Coast flagship for packaging & processing exhibitors.

Packaging & processing built for Southeast exhibitors.

PACK EXPO Northeast

Northeast · regional

Construction & Aggregates freight
Construction & Aggregates

Construction & Aggregates

Construction and aggregate equipment is oversized, heavy, and unforgiving on timing — we route it with the right equipment and permits so it lands the day the floor opens.

ConExpo-Con/Agg

Las Vegas · every 3 years

North America’s largest construction & aggregates exhibition.

World of Concrete

Las Vegas · annual

The concrete & masonry industry’s primary annual event.

Woodworking & Furnishings freight
Woodworking & Furnishings

Woodworking & Furnishings

Woodworking machinery is dense, precise, and expensive to leave idle — so we plan backwards from move-in and keep eyes on every crate, both directions.

International Woodworking Fair

Atlanta · biennial

One of the largest woodworking & furniture-supply shows in the U.S.

AWFS Fair

Las Vegas · biennial

The Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers’ marquee show.

Mining freight
Mining

Mining

Mining equipment is some of the heaviest freight on any floor. We arrange open-deck capacity, permits, and timing to deliver it clean and on schedule.

MINExpo International

Las Vegas · every 4 years

The world’s largest mining-equipment exhibition.

And everywhere else

If it exhibits in North America, we ship to it.

These are our main shows — but as a non-asset broker with no fleet and no terminals, we’re not limited to them. Name any show on any floor in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico and we’ll handle it end to end.

More than trade shows

Trade shows are our specialty — not our only lane.
