Anyone who can open Settings can change this page. It is kept per move type (pick it at the top). Nothing is saved until you press Save.
The fields (Unloading Settings)
- Default Estimate Type — Flat Rate, Binding or Non-Binding.
- Charge for truck — on, the job is priced with a truck; off, labor only.
- Charge for travel time — on, travel time is charged on unloading jobs.
- Please select way for calculating travel time — shown while travel is charged: Way 1 to Way 4, as on Loading. Notice: A - Origin, B - Destination, C - Company address.
A changed field shows a gold changed tag; press it to put that field back. Copy to other move types fills the others (it asks first) and waits for Save.
How long an unloading job takes
The calculator charges an unloading job the unloading share of the size only: 40% of the cubic feet at your crew's speed (Settings › Pricing & calculator › Mover Speed), slowed by the delivery's entrance, walk and unpacking. There is no loading time — the crew only unloads. A studio of 100 cu ft with 3 movers at 199 cu ft an hour: 40 ÷ 199 = about 12 minutes of labor (before the minimum hours). See Mover speed.
