Job details & customer pricing

Moving time estimates the work at pickup and delivery. Crew paid time includes moving and travel unless you enter a mover’s hours manually. Customer billable time follows your minimum, billing increment and travel selection. Paid travel always increases crew costs. Hourly travel billing is optional; leave the separate travel charge at 0 if it covers the same travel.
