Driving Period Factor.
This is how much longer than the standard time this Vehicle Type takes drive.
If left empty or shows zero then it is considered to be the normal driving time.
If it's 2 then it's double the standard time.
If it's 4 then it quadruples the standard time.

For example:
If you are towing a trailer and this reduces the max speed from 70mph to 60mph, the Driving Factor would be something like 1.142
Any Service Codes that have been set up on the Add\Edit Service Codes screen can be used by Automated Routing to determine whether this Vehicle Type can be used for drops that have matching Service Codes against them.
