Distances between nodes

Hello! I'm using a loop of nodes to transport pallets off my truck/separator into a queue. I have the distances inputted as virtual distances between nodes, but they are not representing these from the queue back to the truck area (from NN12 to NN15 to NN1). Do you have any recommendations for how to program accurate distances between the nodes?

I did some tests on your model, one where I set the virtual distance from NN12-NN15 to 14.66 and it completed that journey in 2 seconds which it would with the speeds of your Transporter. What are you seeing that isn't representative of this distance or the travel time?

@Joshua S My apologies I mentioned the wrong nodes, I meant NN14 to NN19. I tried testing it again by putting in a virtual distance of 117.28, expecting it to take 16 seconds, and it takes much longer.
