About Waits and Travels
The use of waits and travels is another approach to getting an operator to and from his or her assigned run.
Waits and Travels in FX is a customized feature associated with the costing of runs. The Wait and Travels option allows you to define the travel times of operators who must take another vehicle route to the starting location of their respective runs. If your property does not use this method for the calculation of travel time, leave the Wait column in the Travels grid set to No, which is the default.
