SmartMoving offers a variety of ways that you can price trips and travel fees. One popular way is to charge per mile. This fee can be created to be specific to your company including your cost per mile and included miles.
​
​

Step 1: From your tariff settings navigate to the section labeled, Trip and Travel Fees.

Step 2: Select + New Trip and Travel Fee.

Step 3: Enter the name of the fee.

Step 4: In the Pricing Type field, select Per Mile.

Step 5: Checkmark if you want the name and description of this fee to be editable. This would allow your office users to change the name or description of the fee when added to a job. If you do not want your users to be able to make these changes, do not checkmark the box.

Step 6: Checkmark if this fee is to be charged per truck on a job. If you do not want to charge per truck, do not checkmark the box. SmartMoving will then only populate this fee for one truck on the job.

Step 7: Enter the Included Miles. The number of miles included will be charged the minimum cost. Once this number is exceeded, the charge will be calculated based on your mileage to be billed and cost-per-mile settings.

Step 8: Enter the Minimum Cost. The Minimum Cost is the minimum amount that will ever be charged for this fee.

Step 9: Enter the Cost per Mile. The Cost per Mile is the amount that you want to charge per mile traveled for this fee.

Step 10: Select + Add New.
​
​Note: You will need to repeat steps 7-9 if you have multiple pricing periods created in your tariff.

Once the trip or travel fee has been created, there will be a few additional settings that you can configure to tailor the fee to your company's pricing model. The first setting that can be configured is the Mileage to be Billed setting. You can choose between billing your mileage based on the actual miles on the job or by the overage.

To set this setting, locate your trip or travel fee in the trip and travel fee setting screen of your tariff settings. From the Mileage to be Billed field, select either Actual or Overage. Then select to Save Changes.

​

The last setting that you can configure for your trip or travel fee is to charge either based on the portions of the trip or by radius. This will inform SmartMoving how to determine the mileage that will be used to calculate your fee.

Charging by portion allows you to determine which legs of the trip you want the fee to be charged based on. Using the graph, you will select if you charge this fee from office to origin, origin to destination, and destination back to the office. If you do not charge for one of these portions of the trip in your fee, uncheck the box that correlates with that portion of the trip.

Charging by radius will mean that your fee is charged based on the distance from your dispatch location to the furthest point on the route.
