Exhibitor Driven Vehicles

EDV Program Exhibitor-Driven Vehicles (EDV) are cars, station wagons, vans, or pickup trucks all less than 24ft in length. Be sure to tell them you are using your personal vehicle as part of the EDV Program. To participate in the EDV program, your total freight weight must not exceed 500 lbs. There will be a scale to weigh your product as it checks in.

Shipments via the Exhibitor-Driven Vehicles will be received based on the following schedule:

To participate in the EDV program, follow signs to check-in with the Freeman Supervisor when you turn off Paradise Road - see EDV map with turn by turn directions. Once checked in, exhibitors will be dispatched by Freeman Personnel for unloading. Vehicles will be unloaded in the order that they check in. Wait times may vary based on the number of vehicles checked in. 

*Please note: you will not be able to park your vehicle in this area or leave it. Your vehicle cannot be left unattended as there is no designated parking.
