Being able to integrate the pricing into the Zones. Where location of the call could add an additional markup to the pricing given at specific locations would be extremely useful. Being able to cover distance charges straight from the updated pricing scheme by allowing the gps in the system to track where the call is and automatically implement a 5.5% markup to zones that are further away from the service provider's location allowing us the ability to fully automate the pricing for locations.

I would use Pricing levels in dynamic pricing and instruct techs to use level 2 or higher when their drive time to a job exceeded X minutes. Sure, you still have to trust the tech to choose the right level, but if their pay structure involves any kind of commission I'm sure that won't be an issue. Plus, the worst-case scenario is that they charge the base price. You could also use the "discounts & fees" feature to put a 5.5% distance fee in your pricebook for the techs to use when appropriate.
