Aftermarket parts and tires hit nearly every expensive corner of the carrier rate card at once: dimensional weight, oversize and additional-handling fees, hazmat rules, and heavy returns. We model all of it against your shipments and cut the cost.
Parts and tires are bulky, heavy, sometimes regulated, and frequently returned, which stacks surcharges most shippers never fully audit.
A tire shipped unboxed is billed additional handling, and large tires or bundled sets cross oversize and large-package thresholds. These fees often rival the base rate.
Body panels, bumpers, and exhausts are big but light, so dimensional weight bills them well above their actual weight, while heavy parts push large-package and over-maximum limits.
Batteries, airbags, brake fluid, and aerosols are regulated dangerous goods with packaging, labeling, surcharge, and air-transport restrictions, plus steep penalties for getting them wrong.
We pair auditing that catches every misapplied fee with negotiation on the surcharges that define this category.
We target additional-handling, large-package, and DIM terms against your real parts-and-tire mix.
Rate Negotiations →ActiveAudit catches misapplied handling, oversize, residential, and dangerous-goods charges and disputes them.
ActiveAudit →SimpleClaims files claims on the heavy, high-value parts that get damaged or lost in transit.
SimpleClaims →Network Strategy models when bulky parts and tire volume should move by freight or regional carriers instead.
Network Strategy →On parts and tires, additional-handling and oversize fees frequently exceed the base shipping rate, and hazmat and core returns add cost most teams never audit. That stack is exactly where expert negotiation and continuous auditing return the most.
Often, yes. Boxing tires avoids some handling fees outright, and we target the thresholds and per-package rates in negotiation while ActiveAudit disputes any that are misapplied.
We don't file your dangerous-goods paperwork, but we audit hazmat and dangerous-goods surcharges for errors and factor the rules and fees into your rate and carrier-mix strategy.
