Why this matters
Shipping is where tire and wheel margins quietly disappear
Tap each issue to see how it shows up in tire and wheel e-commerce.
The problem
Oversized surcharges eating into every order
Most carriers apply dimensional weight pricing and oversized surcharges to tires and wheels. Without analysis, these charges accumulate invisibly across thousands of orders.

- Oversized surcharge identification and reduction opportunities
- Free-shipping threshold modeling by product
- Zone-based routing analysis
How it works
How we find and close your shipping margin gaps
Freight Audit
We pull your shipping history and map every charge — carrier fees, dimensional weight, oversized surcharges, and zone costs — SKU by SKU.
Cost Mapping
We build a clear picture of your actual cost per shipment vs. what's recoverable — identifying the biggest opportunities first.
Optimization Plan
We deliver specific, actionable recommendations: carrier changes, packaging adjustments, threshold pricing, and routing improvements.
Ongoing Monitoring
We track your freight costs over time to ensure the savings hold and flag new patterns as your product mix or carrier rates change.
Industry depth
Tire and wheel freight is unlike any other product category.
A set of four tires can weigh 80–120 lbs and ship as multiple oversized packages. A set of wheels adds dimensional weight that can push carrier pricing into a completely different rate band. Most e-commerce logistics consultants don't know these rules. We do — because we've analyzed thousands of tire and wheel shipments and know exactly where the charges hide.
LTL freight rules
Less-than-truckload freight has specific rules for automotive products. We know which carriers handle tires best and where the rate arbitrage opportunities exist.
Dimensional weight pricing
Carriers charge based on the larger of actual weight vs. dimensional weight. For wheels especially, dimensional weight almost always wins — and costs more.
Oversized surcharges
FedEx, UPS, and regional carriers all apply oversized surcharges differently for tires and wheels. We map these per carrier and recommend the lowest compliant option.
Free shipping modeling
We model the actual margin impact of free-shipping offers per SKU — so you can offer free shipping on products where it makes sense without subsidizing the ones where it doesn't.
From the work
annual freight savings identified for clients
By auditing carrier rates, routing, packaging configurations, and oversized surcharge patterns for tire and wheel shipments, we've identified over $40,000 in annualized freight savings for clients — money that was quietly leaving with every order.
