Tires 3PL: Logistics and Warehousing USA
Specialized 3PL tire warehousing and logistics solutions in the U.S., designed to streamline storage, fulfillment, and distribution for manufacturers, retailers, and distributors in North America.
Tire Logistics Services Overview
In the tire industry, the storage of large production volumes traditionally involves extensive manual labor and space requirements. Tires, being essential in the automotive industry, play a constant role throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle. Tire distribution operations are labor-intensive, particularly during loading and unloading tasks. With the industry’s growth and evolving business models driven by large product characteristics and groupings, the need for more efficient solutions arises. Logos Logistics offers labor-flexible solutions designed to help clients focus on their growth while streamlining tire warehousing and logistics.
- Lumper (physical labor) services for loading and unloading
- Tires fishbone stacking
- Single tire serial number tracking
- DOT management
- Tire quality assurance
DOT-Compliant Tire Warehousing with FIFO Control by Manufacturing Date
At Logos Logistics, we recognize that every tire carries a DOT identification code that links back to its manufacturing plant and production date. Compliance with DOT requirements is not optional; it is a baseline expectation from OEMs, regulators, and end customers.
Our warehousing processes are specifically designed to:
- Enforce FIFO (First-In, First-Out) by production date, ensuring older tire lots move first to minimize shelf-life risk.
- Provide full audit trails, giving manufacturers and dealers visibility for recalls, warranty claims, and regulatory checks.
- Support regulatory readiness, so that in case of a recall, affected tires can be identified, isolated, and removed within hours, not days.
By combining compliance with precision logistics, we deliver not just storage space, but a regulatory-ready, quality-assured warehouse environment for your tire inventory.
Racking and Palletization Designed to Protect Tire Uniformity (Conicity & RFV)
Tire performance is highly sensitive to how it is stored. Improper stacking or pressure can create hidden defects in uniformity, such as conicity or Radial Force Variation (RFV), which directly affect ride quality and OEM acceptance.
Our warehousing systems are engineered to prevent these issues:
- Custom racking layouts that support tires without creating sidewall stress or bead distortion.
- Palletization standards that follow industry best practices, whether fishbone, lacing, or palletized storage adapted to the tire type (passenger, truck, or OTR).
- Climate and handling discipline that protects rubber compounds during long-term storage.
The result: Every tire leaves our facility in the same condition it arrived: uniform, balanced, and ready to perform on the road. By protecting tire quality at the warehouse level, we help OEMs and dealers reduce rejection rates, avoid costly returns, and deliver safer vehicles to end customers.
Tire Serial Number Tracking
In the tire industry, each unit has a unique serial number and DOT code that links to its manufacturing history, including plant, production date, and batch details. For manufacturers, OEMs, and dealers, this data is critical for safety compliance, warranty management, and recall readiness.
At Logos Logistics, our tire warehousing model puts serial number tracking at the heart of inventory management.
Our capabilities include:
- Unit-level identification: Every tire is scanned upon arrival, capturing its DOT code and serial number in our WMS.
- Full traceability: Track each tire individually, enabling fast recall or quality checks.
- FIFO by serial number & production date: Move older batches first to reduce aging stock and meet OEM requirements.
- Automated audit trails: Every transaction is logged by serial number for regulatory-ready records.
- Customer integration: Serial data is sent via EDI/API for real-time supply chain visibility.
At Logos, tire serial number tracking is not optional; it’s built into our DNA as a 3PL partner. By combining technology with operational discipline, we help our customers deliver safer, compliant, and high-quality tires to the market.

Tire Storage & Stacking Methods
At Logos Logistics, we understand that proper tire storage is critical for maintaining product quality and maximizing warehouse efficiency. Our specialized 3PL warehouses utilize a variety of proven tire stacking and storage methods to meet the unique needs of each client:
Fishbone Stacking
Tires are arranged at an angle, leaning against each other in a “fishbone” pattern. This method improves airflow, reduces deformation, and allows easy access for inventory rotation.
Chimney Stacking
Tires are stacked vertically, like a chimney. This method is ideal for space optimization in high-density storage areas while keeping tires easily accessible.
Laced Stacking (Lacing)
Tires are interlocked in a crisscross pattern, providing stability and preventing movement during storage. This method is often used for medium to large tires to minimize shifting.
Barrel Stacking
Tires are stacked horizontally in cylindrical arrangements, similar to barrels. This method is suitable for bulk storage of uniform tire sizes and allows for efficient handling.
Pyramid Stacking
Tires are arranged in a pyramid shape, combining stability and visibility. This method works well for display or temporary storage where easy access is needed.
Palletized Storage
Tires are placed on pallets for mechanical handling using forklifts. Palletized storage enhances inventory management and is ideal for high-volume warehouses.
Racking System (Tire Racks)
Custom tire racks allow vertical storage of tires in rows, maximizing floor space and improving organization. Our racks are designed for various tire types, from passenger to commercial sizes.
Bead-to-Bead Storage
Tires are stored touching at the beads, reducing stress on the sidewalls and preserving tire integrity, particularly for larger or high-performance tires.
Sidewall-to-Sidewall Storage
Tires are stacked with sidewalls facing each other, protecting tread surfaces and maintaining shape. This method is ideal for short-term storage or high-turnover inventory.
