# Loaded Dispatch Mileage column (Trips table)

> What the Loaded Dispatch Mileage column in Dispatch Planner v2 shows, how it relates to Total Miles, and why the two can differ.

Part of the [Dispatch Planner column reference](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns).

The **Loaded Dispatch Mileage** column shows the loaded miles each trip's driver is paid on, for example **512 mi**. It is the loaded half of the trip's dispatch mileage, the figure driver settlements use. Use it to check pay miles across trips without opening each load.

## At a glance

| | |

| **Table** | Trips |
| **Shown by default** | No. Add it from the Trips table column configuration menu. |

| **Who sees it** | Everyone who can open Dispatch Planner v2 |
| **Edit in the grid** | No |

## How is it worked out?

1. When the trip's loaded miles are calculated or entered, this column takes the same value as **Total Miles**: the distance from the trip's first pickup to its last delivery.
2. When the route is recalculated, this column follows **Total Miles** again, unless a driver on the trip has already been paid. Once a driver is paid, route changes no longer update it.
3. If you edit loaded miles on the trip from driver settlements, only this column changes. **Total Miles** keeps its value.

The value is shown in whole miles. **0 mi** is a real value, not a missing one. The filter starts on **Less than or equal to**, so entering **500** keeps trips with 500 loaded miles or less.

## Why does it differ from Total Miles?

**The loaded miles were edited in driver settlements.** That changes the miles the driver is paid on without changing the trip's calculated distance.

**The route changed after a driver was paid.** **Total Miles** recalculated, but the paid miles stayed as they were when the driver was paid.

## Why is the column blank?

No loaded miles have been calculated or entered for the trip. Trips with a blank value stay at the bottom whichever way you sort.
