The freight bill is typically issued by the carrier or transportation company to the shipper or consignee as a request for payment for the services rendered.

7. Mileage amount that is the "as the crow flies" distance between two points.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Shortest" because it refers to the mileage amount that is the shortest or most direct distance between two points, often referred to as the "as the crow flies" distance. This means that it does not take into account any detours or obstacles that may exist along the route, but simply calculates the shortest distance between the two points.

Submit
8. It is 2/15. A customer calls Support because they can't print a master bill for a Bill To. What is the problem?

Explanation

The correct answer is that the Bill To is not set up for master bills. This means that the customer's account or profile does not have the necessary settings enabled to generate a master bill. Without this setup, the customer will not be able to print a master bill for their Bill To.

Explanation

The next master bill can be run on 2/14 because it is the date mentioned in the given entries for a Bill To. The other options state that the next master bill cannot be run either because -1 is an invalid entry for the Master Bill __ Days field or because the Bill To is not set up for master bills.

Submit
11. The system default for billing miles is specified ______________________.

Explanation

The system default for billing miles is specified in the Billing= setting in the TTS50.ini file. This means that the configuration for billing miles is determined by the value set in the TTS50.ini file, specifically in the Billing= setting. This allows for customization and flexibility in determining how miles are billed within the system.

12. A term that means route calculation method, such as shortest or practical miles.

Explanation

The term "mileage type" refers to the method used to calculate the route, such as shortest or practical miles. It is a way to determine the distance for billing or dispatch purposes.

Submit
13. Suppose you have the following in your INI file: [MileageInterface] XFace[1]=A - ALK Type[1]=P - Practical Path[1]='DLL' XFace[2]=A - ALK Type[2]=S - Shortest Path[2]='DLL' XFace[3]=P - Rand PC Type[3]=P - Practical Path[3]='RANDDLL' [MileageType] Billing=1 Operations=2 When the system calculates billing miles, what mileage type will it use?

Explanation

The system will use the mileage type "ALK Practical" when calculating billing miles because in the [MileageInterface] section of the INI file, the XFace[1] value is "A - ALK" and the Type[1] value is "P - 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.

Submit
14. A Bill To may choose to be billed by shortest miles intead of practical miles because the routes take less time.

Explanation

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.
