This dialog provides a means for setting and visualizing the haul costs. The freehaul and overhaul distances are accordingly calculated.
This is accessed from the Ground Types tabbed dialog box by pressing the Haul costs button.
Movement Costs
Movement costs are divided into 3 categories (Freehaul, Overhaul, and Endhaul). The distance for each type of haul depends on the Hauling and Loading costs.
Note: The movement costs are common to all material types.
Hauling
Cost to move material. Units of $ per (Cu. m. x km) or $ per (Cu. Yd. x mile).
Loading
Cost to load material prior to moving. Units of $ per Cu. m. or $ per Cu. Yd.

Examples
Freehaul only case
If the user wants to consider only freehaul, then the easiest way is to set the same costs for freehaul, overhaul, and endhaul. In this example, no distances are defined. Only freehaul applies.
Freehaul/Overhaul case
If the user wants to consider freehaul and overhaul only, then the easiest way is to set the same costs for overhaul and endhaul. In this example, the freehaul distance is 500m and no overhaul distance is defined.
Freehaul/Overhaul/Endhaul case
In this example, the freehaul distance is 500m and and the overhaul distance is 4000m.
