ALK Shortest

ALK Practical
- C.
Rand Shortest
- D.
Rand Practical

This indicates that the mileage interface is set to ALK and the type is set to Practical. Since the question is asking about billing miles, the system will use the ALK Practical mileage type.Rate this question:

A Bill To may choose to be billed by shortest miles intead of practical miles because the routes take less time.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The explanation for the given answer is that the statement is incorrect. A Bill To cannot choose to be billed by shortest miles instead of practical miles because the routes that take less time may not necessarily be the shortest in terms of distance. Practical miles take into consideration factors such as traffic conditions, road quality, and other practical considerations, whereas shortest miles only consider the straight-line distance between two points. Therefore, being billed by shortest miles may not accurately reflect the actual distance traveled and could result in inaccurate billing.Rate this question:
