    Yes. Dumpster Controls gives waste management services dispatch and route planning tools in one free account: a drag-and-drop board with one lane per driver, a live map with route colors and loaded or empty lines, AI route suggestion for one driver's stops, a database of 2,916 US landfills with tipping fee estimates, and a driver app with Truck Tablet Mode. It is built for stop-based roll-off, junk and scrap work, not residential curbside collection, and it is free for any fleet size.

    The six dispatch and route planning tools in Dumpster Controls

    1. The Dispatch board. Unassigned Tasks on the left, grouped by Late, Ready for this day, Scheduled ahead and Stored, waiting landfill; one lane per driver with a status chip, a completed of total counter and a projected finish time. Drag a card into a lane, or click Assign; the driver is notified by push and SMS.
    2. The live map. A resizable panel beside the board shows the whole operation on Google Maps: truck markers from the drivers' phones, container pins by size, green when delivered on time and orange when late, and landfill pins in range.
    3. The route view. Click a driver's block and the map draws that day: numbered pins, drive minutes and an arrival estimate per stop, total miles and a projected finish. Legs are green for delivery, orange for pickup, brown for landfill and blue for a special stop; solid when the truck carries a can, dashed when it runs empty.
    4. AI Routes. The purple button reorders one driver's remaining stops for the shortest day, checked against the roll-off cycle: empty truck, full can, empty can, swaps, stored dumpsters and landfill runs. The preview shows an estimated saving and changes nothing until you click Apply order; Undo is offered for 10 seconds.
    5. The landfill database. Landfill runs start as Location TBD. Set landfill opens your active sites, sorted by distance, with hours, a rating from other drivers and a tipping fee estimate. At the gate the receipt scan reads the net weight and the cost, and that cost lands on the order's profit.
    6. The driver app and the truck tablet. The free iOS and Android app shows the day in run order, with Truck mode navigation and stamped proof photos. A tablet paired to the company runs the cockpit layout and keeps working without signal; Tresha reads the day back by voice.

    Every step above is documented screen by screen in the manual: How to view a driver's route on the map.
