Load Rate

This screen allows you to maintain the time spent at each location when loading or unloading, and for the number of items that you are loading or unloading. This in turn defines the amount of time estimated at each location (or stop) you visit on a trip.

You can apply loading and unloading rates to locations using the Locations screen.
