Segments link one location (either an Extra Stop or the origin and destination of the entire move request) to another location associated to the move.  It also allows the user to identify load specific and date specific information related to a portion of the move.  Assuming that an Extra Stop is a city on a map then the roads connecting the dots would be the Segments and a user can capture all the specifics attributes of the road within the Segment section.
