# Self Load-In

> Hand-carrying your own items from the loading dock.

<Note>
  Exhibitors choosing this option must be self-sufficient: you are responsible for bringing dollies/carts, labor, and all other items needed to unload your vehicle, move items to your booth, and store empty boxes/crates.

  Should you require assistance, Demers can move your items at **\$95 per 100 lb. with a minimum charge of \$190**.
</Note>

During load-in, exhibitors can access the loading dock with their own vehicle **at no charge,** subject to the restrictions below.

  <Step title="Relocate Your Vehicle">
