Why This Matters to Your Business 📈

Travel Charges ensure you're compensated for time and distance spent traveling outside of actual move time—such as from your warehouse to the pickup or drop-off location. This matters because:

• ✨ It eliminates undercharging for non-billable hours

• 🏢 Helps maintain profit margins when covering longer distances

• 🚨 Provides flexible billing based on your business model

Travel Charges let you customize how non-service travel is calculated so you can recover real operational costs and stay competitive.
