Freight glossary / Accessorials and charges

What is Reconsignment in freight?

Reconsignment is redirecting a shipment to a different destination after it has already been picked up. It is billed as an accessorial covering the additional miles and time. It is common after a delivery rejection, when the freight has to go somewhere other than where it was headed.

Also called: diversion.
