ASUV Program (Automobile & Small Utility Vehicle)

Exhibitors planning to unload materials from an approved vehicle should review McCormick Place’s ASUV Program (Automobile & Small Utility Vehicle) information in advance. Only certain types of vehicles are allowed to use this program. This is intended for small loads that can be hand-carried into the exhibit hall using non-motorized hand trucks or dollies. You must be a registered exhibiting company. While parked in the dock, Exhibitor staff must work as team of at least two people and one person must remain with the vehicle at all times. Vehicles must be unloaded within a 20 minute period.

ASUV Hours:

Outbound Shipping After Show Close

Schedule your designated carrier pick-up at least 24 hours in advance of exhibitor move-out if you are not shipping with Tradeshow Logistics Transport.

Exhibitors using small package services (FedEx, UPS, or Airfreight) must have proper shipping labels from your carrier. Also please remember to contact your carrier to schedule a pick up.

If you are shipping freight after the show closes, an outbound material handling form is required and must be returned to the service desk. Shipments without this form cannot be processed by your designated carrier.
