Why field service companies ask this
Customers wait all day for a two hour job. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when arrival windows, on-the-way notices and job confirmations stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is fewer missed visits and better reviews. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.

Is this different for field service companies?
The mechanics are the same. What changes is the volume and the timing, because field service companies mostly send arrival windows, on-the-way notices and job confirmations.
