Matt,
This is a logistics package and we move freight for customers for a fee. Quite
often that fee is based on the number of miles traveled. The vast majority of
our customers demand that we calculate their rate using either PCMiler or
Rand McNally. A handful use their own mileage calcuations and we have to use
their data. The functionality is irrevelent to the customer. We simply use
the mileage program whenever possible such that the mileages are
automatically entered as the people in operations enter the freight records.
