Load Rates
Configuration of the rates taken to load different DU types is provided in this section.
Typically, this is used to represent the particular dispatch units onto Trailers and also includes categories such as default start-up and close-down times.
Load Rates can be configured to fix time at locations where product is either loaded or unloaded; a fixed value can also be applied to the start up and close down of a trip as detailed below.

- Loading Rate - Enter the name for the Loading Rate,
- SU/CL Mins - any time to be applied at start up or close down
- Apply Fixed Mins at SU/CL - select whether or not the fixed minutes below is also applied at SU/CL stops on top of the fixed minutes above.
- Fixed Mins - define any fixed time to be applied at stops which can then be added to a value per despatch unit:
- Dflt Mins per Du
- Mins per Weight
Clicking Save and Cancel will return you to the main form.
