hour maximum hold time
Temperature-controlled staging that keeps the clock from becoming a death sentence.
Every Reroute staging facility operates at species-specific climate tolerances — 55°F for poultry holds, 12°C for aquaculture oxygen-supplemented tanks, 28°C ambient for reptile staging. When a refused load hits our network, it moves directly into a certified hold environment. Not a warehouse. Not a parking lot. A living system.

states with active USDA transport permits
The paperwork problem is already solved before your load crosses a state line.
Most logistics failures become regulatory crises because no one has the permits in place when the emergency happens. Reroute maintains pre-filed USDA APHIS interstate transport permits across 43 states, with CITES chain-of-custody documentation generated automatically for exotic and specialty shipments. Your compliance officer gets the paper trail before the specimen moves.

Every commodity has its own failure mode. We've built the protocol for each one.
Select a commodity type to see the specific reroute protocol, compliance requirements, and emergency scenario.
A 44,000-bird broiler shipment gets refused at the receiving dock — contamination concern at the integrator. You have 6 hours before welfare becomes a regulatory issue. Reroute identifies the nearest USDA-certified secondary processor with capacity, files the interstate health certificate, and has a redirect confirmation to your dispatcher in 14 minutes.
Reroute Protocols
- Temperature-controlled staging at 55–65°F
- NPIP-certified hold facilities

Active Certifications
All certifications maintained current. Reroute compliance team monitors renewal cycles across all active permits.
Before the next load goes sideways, let's map your network.
A Routing Assessment takes 20 minutes and produces a custom reroute protocol for your commodity, corridors, and compliance requirements. No obligation. Your dispatcher gets the protocol whether you sign a contract or not.
