In logistics, the time it takes to service an order at a drop-off location (like a warehouse or distribution center) is often not a fixed number. It can vary based on the size, weight, or type of goods being delivered. Dynamic Service Time is a feature that allows the optimization engine to calculate the service time for an order based on these variable factors, rather than using a single static value.

A node's servicetime says how long the stop takes. Sometimes that depends on the vehicle as well as the stop: a large truck needs longer to park and open up than a van, and a vehicle without a tail lift is slower to unload. **Vehicle service time** adds a vehicle-dependent amount on top of each node's own servicetime whenever that vehicle serves the node.
