May be you need to help QlikView Understand you TimeStamp Fields using TimeStamp#() function

LOAD *,

          [Last Drop Arrival Date] - [First Pick Departure Date] as TravelTime;

LOAD

TimeStamp#([First Pick Departure Date], 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm') as [First Pick Departure Date],

TimeStamp#([Last Drop Arrival Date], 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm') as [Last Drop Arrival Date]

FROM Source;

SET TimestampFormat = 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm';

LOAD

    [First Pick Departure Date],

    [Last Drop Arrival Date],

    Interval(  [Last Drop Arrival Date]-[First Pick Departure Date]) as TravelTime,

Use the INTERVAL() function to calculate the difference between two time or date values.
