Proposed Implementation of the Defense Table of Official Distances (DTOD) for the DoD Freight Movements Program

Samenvatting

The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), as the Department of Defense (DoD) Traffic Manager for surface and surface intermodal traffic management services (DTR Vol 1, Pg 101-113), intends to utilize a new automated distance calculation product known as the Defense Table of Official Distances (DTOD) in the DoD freight program. The DTOD will replace existing distance calculation products used within the DoD, such as the Rand McNally TDM Milemaker System, and the Household Goods Carriers' Mileage Guide. The DTOD will become the DoD standard source for distance information worldwide. Commercially, DTOD is known as PC*MILER by ALK Associates, Inc. The DTOD/PC*MILER will be used by the DoD for all distance calculations, analysis, and for transportation payment/audits. Carriers and third party providers may continue to use other mileage sources for their own business purposes. However, carriers and third party providers participating in the DoD freight program must agree to be bound by the DTOD/PC*MILER distance calculations for payment and audit purposes.
