The Problem

Tire distribution routes are complex by nature

Heavy loads, narrow dock windows, and dozens of tire shops per run. Manual routing wastes fuel and misses deliveries.

Narrow Dock Windows

Tire shops have limited receiving hours and shared docks. Arrive outside the window and your driver sits idle or gets turned away entirely.

Heavy Vehicle Restrictions

Loaded tire trucks cannot take every road. Weight limits, low bridges, and residential restrictions force detours that consumer GPS tools miss.

High Stop Density

A single route can hit 15 to 30 tire shops across a metro area. Without optimization, drivers backtrack through traffic they already passed.

Fleet Coordination

Splitting orders across multiple trucks, balancing workloads, and getting manifests printed before drivers leave the warehouse every morning.

The Solution

Built for tire distribution workflows

Import your order sheets, set delivery windows, and let Drivant build the fastest routes for every truck in your fleet.

Import Wholesale Order Lists

Drop in Excel or CSV files from your ERP or order management system. Drivant auto-detects shop addresses, order quantities, and delivery priorities. No reformatting needed — see our free route planner for a quick walkthrough of the import flow.

Schedule Around Dock Windows

Set receiving hours and dock availability per tire shop. The route optimizer sequences your stops to arrive within every window while minimizing drive time between locations.

Heavy Vehicle Routing

Pro plans include HERE truck routing that respects vehicle weight, height, and road restrictions. Your loaded trucks get routes that avoid low bridges and weight-limited roads. This is the same commercial-grade routing available to auto parts delivery fleets.

Export Driver Manifests

Generate print-ready manifests with stop sequence, shop names, order details, and ETAs. Export to Excel, CSV, or GPX for GPS devices. Hand each driver a clean sheet and go.

Use Cases

One platform, every tire distribution scenario

Whether you run a regional warehouse or a national distribution network, Drivant handles the routing.

Wholesale Tire Delivery

Route trucks from your warehouse to dozens of tire shops per day with optimized stop sequences and delivery windows.

Multi-Truck Fleet Runs

Recurring Route Templates

Save your regular delivery circuits as templates. Load them each week, update order quantities, and re-optimize in seconds.

Warehouse-to-Shop Supply

Coordinate outbound shipments from distribution centers to retail tire shops with dock scheduling and arrival time projections. For general multi-vehicle fleet planning, see how Drivant handles last mile delivery at scale.

Real-World Workflow

A typical day with Drivant

It is 4:30 AM at the distribution warehouse. Your logistics coordinator imports 220 tire orders from last night's ERP export into Drivant. She filters by delivery zone and assigns stops to six trucks based on territory. Three tire shops have 7:00 AM dock appointments, so she sets hard time windows on those stops. She clicks "Build Routes" and the optimizer sequences each truck's stops to minimize total mileage while hitting every dock window. One truck is overloaded by weight, so she drags four stops to a lighter route and the schedule recalculates instantly. By 5:00 AM, six manifests are printed with shop names, order quantities, dock appointment times, and turn-by-turn ETAs. The first truck pulls out at 5:15 AM. By 10:00 AM, 190 of 220 deliveries are confirmed. The remaining 30 stops are on two trucks still running suburban routes that will finish by early afternoon. Tomorrow she will load her saved route template, import the fresh order list, and have all six routes re-optimized before the warehouse crew finishes loading pallets.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Drivant handle heavy vehicle routing for tire delivery trucks?
Yes. Drivant supports HERE truck routing on Pro plans, which accounts for vehicle weight, height, and road restrictions. Your tire delivery trucks get routes that avoid low bridges, weight-restricted roads, and residential streets where heavy vehicles are prohibited.
How do I schedule deliveries around tire shop dock availability?
Set delivery windows per stop to match each tire shop's receiving hours and dock availability. The route optimizer sequences stops to hit every window while minimizing drive time between locations.
Can I import my wholesale order lists into Drivant?
Yes. Import Excel or CSV files from your ERP, order management system, or warehouse software. Drivant auto-detects addresses, customer names, order quantities, and delivery priorities. No reformatting required.
How does Drivant help with multi-stop tire distribution routes?
Drivant optimizes stop sequencing across all your delivery points. Upload your full order list, assign stops to routes by territory or driver, and let the optimizer find the shortest path that respects every delivery window and dock schedule.
Can I plan routes for multiple trucks at once?
Yes. The Route Builder automatically assigns stops to vehicles based on geographic clusters, delivery windows, and vehicle capacity. You can also manually drag stops between routes or let the optimizer balance workloads across your fleet.
What export formats does Drivant support for driver manifests?
Export routes as Excel spreadsheets with full stop details, CSV for integration with other systems, GPX for GPS devices, or print-ready manifests with stop sequence, addresses, delivery notes, and ETAs.
Can I save recurring tire delivery routes as templates?
Yes. Save any project as a template and reload it each week. Update the order quantities or swap in a new order file, re-optimize, and your routes are ready. This is especially useful for distributors with fixed weekly delivery circuits to the same tire shops.
Does Drivant support delivery routes across multiple warehouse locations?
Yes. Set different depot starting points for each route. If your trucks depart from separate warehouses or cross-dock facilities, each driver's route begins and ends at the correct location. The optimizer accounts for the actual starting position when sequencing stops.
