How loaded and empty time calculations can be combined
Although it is possible to use any empty time calculation with the DPARLD and ARPLD loaded time calculations, be sure to avoid combinations that result in an overlap of empty and loaded times. Use the examples to determine how to set up combinations that meet your company's needs.
Example 1: Outside loaded and inside empty (begin and end empty separate)
| BMTIN – StartMT ArvPup Departure from billable begin empty event to Arrival at first pickup 1 hour |
| ARPLD – ArvPUP Deprt DRP Arrival at first pickup to Departure from final drop 5.25 hours |
| EMPTIN – DeprtDRP EndMT Departure from final drop to Arrival at billable end empty stop 3.5 hours |
When the system calculates travel time for the order, it creates three invoice details.
Example 2: Inside loaded and outside empty (begin and end empty separate)
| BMTOUT: StartMt DeprtPUP Arrival at billable begin empty event to Departure time from first pickup 2.75 hours |
| DPARLD – DeprtPUP ArvDRP Departure from first pickup to Arrival at final drop 4.25 hours |
| EMTOUT – ArvDRP EndMT Arrival at final drop to Departure from billable end empty stop 4.75 hours |
When the system calculates travel time for the order, it creates three invoice details.
Example 3: Outside loaded and inside empty (begin and end empty combined)
| TOTMTI – Total Mt 4 DEPARRTotal time of all empty portions of a trip from the trip's first departure to the last arrival Departure from billable begin empty to Arrival at first pickup 1 hour Departure from final drop to Arrival at billable end empty stop 3.5 hours |
| ARPLD – ArvPUP DeprtDRPArrival at first pickup to Departure from final drop 5.25 hours |
When the system calculates travel time for the order, it creates two invoice details: one for the loaded hours, and a second for the total empty hours.
Example 4: Inside loaded and outside empty (begin and end combined)
| TOTMTO – Total Mt 4 ARRDEPTotal time of all empty portions of a trip from the trip's first arrival to the last departure Arrival at billable begin empty to Departure from first pickup 2.75 hours Arrival at final drop to Departure from billable end empty stop 4.75 hours |
| DPARLD – DeprtPUP ArvDRPDeparture from first pickup to Arrival at final drop 4.25 hours |
When the system calculates travel time for the order, it creates two invoice details: one for the loaded hours, and a second for the total empty hours.
