this is the method used to calculate pay miles and you need to ask which scale is being used.
if a load pays 800 miles Practical, you can add back 15% or 120 miles to the trip
these are extra miles you will Not get paid for.

HUB - actual odometer miles from A to B (rare)
PRACTICAL- about 15% less than hub (standard)
HHG - household goods 20% less than hub (rand mcnally short miles)
AIR- 25% off less than hub (zip code to zip code)
