Intro

Trucks, A-rig and B-rig swaps, carnets, customs, instrument logistics and on-the-road repair. Freight is the engine that decides whether the next show happens.

Open in Freight & Backline Intro

Manifesto

  • ·If the trucks don't arrive, the show doesn't happen. Freight is treated as a first-class concern, not a back-office function.
  • ·A-rig / B-rig swaps modelled in advance for stadium legs; carnets and customs paperwork prepared upstream so the road never waits at a border.
  • ·Backline tracked instrument by instrument — nothing critical is ever a single point of failure.
