What pulls so much NYC freight to Orlando
OCCC and the convention machine — the route's primary anchor
The Orange County Convention Center is 7 million+ square feet of exhibit and meeting space across two complexes (West and North-South) on International Drive. It hosts about 200 events per year. NYC trade-show clients frequently exhibit at IAAPA, HIMSS, the PGA Show, Global Pet Expo, and MEGACON, and need same-day or next-day freight for booth components, last-minute exhibit additions, and crew gear. Trade show delivery coordinated through OCCC freight management, marshalling-yard appointments, and on-time dock cuts.
