The trucks leave on schedule.

So we run our own fleet. Our own drivers. Our own schedule. When you book touring production or festival production with us, the gear and the trucks that move it come from the same company. One company is accountable from the site survey to the last truck off the lot.

The problem

Trucking isn't an add-on to what we do.

Trucking isn't an add-on to what we do. It's how everything else happens. The line array, the LED wall, the mobile stage, the barricade — none of it matters if it isn't on site when the load-in starts.

So we run our own fleet. Our own drivers. Our own schedule. When you book touring production or festival production with us, the gear and the trucks that move it come from the same company. One company is accountable from the site survey to the last truck off the lot.

More than 30 years of load-ins have taught us what that means in practice: the truck that leaves late is the load-in that runs short. So we plan backward from doors. Whether the gear moves on one truck or eight, the math is done before anything is packed.

How we plan a move

How we plan a move

Every trucking job starts with the same questions:

Then you get it in writing — a scope with dates, equipment, drivers and a number. No surprises on the invoice after the show.

What's the load-in window?

We work backward from it. If doors are at seven, the trucks are timed to that, not to whatever the warehouse feels like that morning.

What's the site?

Paved lot, grass field, loading dock, alley behind a casino — the approach changes what truck we send and how we sequence it.

What has to come off first?

Rigging points before truss, truss before motors, motors before the cases underneath them. Pack order is load order, and load order is the schedule.

Where does it go next?

If the gear moves on to another market, the routing reflects that. Multi-stop tours are planned as a route, not a series of one-offs.

Geographic reach

Where we run

Home base is Sulphur, LA — Lake Charles area, an easy run to Houston and New Orleans. We work across the United States and into Canada with our own fleet. That's the honest shape of it: we're built for long moves, not just local hauls, and our crew rides with the gear when the production calls for it.

Accountability

Our fleet, our drivers, our accountability

We don't broker your load-out to the lowest bidder and hope. The people driving our trucks work for us, and the gear in them is ours — maintained in the same warehouse that preps it for the show.

That matters when something goes sideways. When a truck goes down or a venue moves your load-in, we're not waiting on a third party to decide whether it's their problem. We own it, we have redundancy in the shop, and we solve it.

Show days don't keep office hours. Neither does dispatch. If something changes on site, you call and someone answers.

What we need from you

Requesting logistics & trucking

Tell us:

A date and a city is enough to start the conversation. You'll get a real producer, not a form response, and you'll have a written number within one business day — usually sooner.

If the move is inside two weeks, call instead of using the form. Short-notice trucking is a real part of what we do, and the phone is faster.

Common questions

FAQ

What is event logistics and trucking?

It's the planning and execution of moving production equipment — audio, lighting, video, staging and crew — from warehouse to venue to the next market, on a schedule tied to your load-in and load-out. For us it includes the fleet, the drivers, the pack order and the routing, not just a truck and a driver.

Can I book your trucking without booking production?

Sometimes. It depends on what's moving and whether it fits alongside our production calendar. Tell us the route, the gear and the dates, and we'll give you a straight answer.

How far in advance should I book trucking?

The earlier the better, especially around festival season when trucks and drivers book up. That said, short-notice moves are a normal part of this business — call the office and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make your window.

Do you provide drivers for our own equipment?

Our drivers move our fleet. For your own gear, the conversation starts with what it is and where it's going — reach out and we'll tell you whether it's something we take on.

What happens if a truck breaks down en route?

We plan for it the same way we plan for gear failure on show day: redundancy in the shop and a crew that owns the problem instead of routing it to a third party. You'll hear it from us, not discover it at the dock.

Do you handle cross-border moves into Canada?

Yes. We work across the United States and into Canada with our own fleet. Give us the border crossing and the timeline and we'll build the route.
