How does it work?
Per Mile: Will take the rate entered and either, multiply it by the odometer reading on the field ticket, or multiply it by the distance between the current job address and the previous/next job address (as the crow flies). See directions below to set preference.
Per Trav. Hours: This rate will be multiplied by the number of hours spent traveling on the field ticket. Travel time includes the time between Started, and Arrived, as well as the time between Departed, and Completed.
Per FT hour: This rate will be multiplied by all hours recorded on the field ticket (all hours between Started, and Completed).
