Haul Costs

Use the Haul Costs option to set the free haul cost and over haul cost. These costs are used in the mass haul diagram in the Mass Haul option. This option also allows you to set a default free haul distance that is used to draw the balance line when modifying the haul diagram via the Balance Line option.

The defaults are added to the <proj><design_name>.ron file.

The haul costs can also be set when creating the actual design in the Quantities submenu.
