Trade show logistics, driveaway & other specialized transport: we always meet your specifications
Custom Solutions for Niche Markets
Group One, a division of Lone Star Transportation, offers trade show/ event management, driveaway services, specialized transport on customized trailers and warehousing. We tailor custom plans to meet your highly specialized needs.
After all, few carriers understand precisely what it takes to get your job done right. But after over 30 years in this business, we certainly do. Rely on us to create the plan that suits you — and deliver your freight with the best-in-class service we’re known for.
Trade Show Transportation and Logistics
Custom graphics — on-site management — more exposure. That’s what Group One’s trade show logistics team brings to your event. We understand the importance of your corporate brand and message. Our professionals make sure you always put your best foot forward at showtime.
We assign an on-site event management supervisor who works with you from the initial quote through show day. They provide expert advice and professional oversight of your event, acting on your behalf in the shipping, set-up, break-down and reload of your display.
We give you even more exposure when you use Group One’s show truck services. Let us custom-paint one of our enclosed trailers before transporting your display. Traveling coast-to-coast, other drivers will notice your show truck’s distinctive design. Left on-site during the event, the logo-labeled trailer serves as additional attention-grabbing signage.

Specialized Freight Trucking Services
Not everything fits in a crate. And if it does, that’s not always the best way to transport it. So, we customize our freight trucking services to protect your cargo better.
We’ve developed methods to pack and ship your freight that both decrease load-in/ load-out time and ensure the safe delivery of your product. We offer pad wrap, and our fleet includes customized trailers with load bars, lift gates and decking capabilities. In addition, we’ve built hoists to lift and gently move products on and off trailers, including roller and platform systems that make it easier to load and unload everything from motorcycles to ATVs and jet skis.
To meet the unique demands of the trade show industry, we offer air-ride freight trailers that safely carry a wide variety of goods. Our trailers also boast built-in belly boxes for under-trailer storage, thereby increasing storage space and better securing your cargo.
Warehousing
Group One’s Kansas City terminal is located in the center of the U.S., with easy access to all major highways. It boasts a 7-acre footprint and includes 130,000 square feet of storage space: 65,000 square feet of indoor warehouse space and the rest covered outdoor storage.
Our secure warehouse facility holds everything from trade show materials to short- or long-term palletized storage — just about any non-perishable item you need to store. We house products for quick stops between shows. We also assist with long-term distribution and logistics.
