Concert Logistics Services Across North America
Concert logistics requires precision planning, dedicated fleet coordination, and real-time operational oversight. Janco provides professional concert logistics and concert tour trucking for live performances, arena tours, theater productions, and multi-city runs across the U.S. and Canada. We operate our own fleet — not a broker — ensuring accountability from routing through final load-out.

Why Concert Logistics Is Different from Standard Freight
Traditional freight focuses on delivery windows. Concert logistics is built around performance deadlines, venue access windows, and show-day sequencing — where delays aren’t an option.
- Show-dependent timing — Every move is aligned to load-in schedules and show start times.
- Multiple stops per day — Tight transitions, staggered arrivals, and overnight repositioning between cities.
- Venue access windows — Dock times, security, and crew availability require exact coordination.
- Stage load-in sequencing — Gear must arrive in the right order to support production build timelines.
- High-touch production communication — Direct coordination with tour managers, production managers, and venue teams.
- Real-time adjustments — Proactive reroutes and contingency planning to protect show integrity.
