What Docket costs
Docket does not publish prices: its plans page lists Grow, Pro and Pro Plus tiers with no dollar amounts, and access requires a sales demo. Pricing is per truck with a one-time implementation fee; third-party estimates put it around $150 to $250+ per truck per month. Card processing on the entry tier is 3.0% + $0.30. Docket was acquired by ServiceCore in May 2023, so Docket and ServiceCore are the same company today.
Dumpster Controls takes the opposite approach: the software is free, with unlimited orders and unlimited users, and the only cost is card processing when a customer pays by card, 2.99% + $3.99 per transaction on the free plan, or 2.99% + $0.30 on the optional $169/month Unlimited plan. Pay by cash, check or any other method and there is no fee at all.

Why haulers switch from Docket
Price you can see
Our pricing fits in one sentence and is printed on every page: the software is free, you only pay card processing when a customer pays by card. No demo, no quote, no per-truck math.
No per-truck scaling tax
Docket prices per truck, so growing your fleet grows your bill. Dumpster Controls is free at 1 truck and free at 50 trucks.
Lower card processing
Docket's entry tier charges 3.0% + $0.30 per card payment. Our optional Unlimited plan gives you 2.99% + $0.30, and even our free plan is transparent about every cent.
AI beyond routing
Docket's AI is a route builder. Tresha, our built-in assistant, runs the whole platform by chat or voice: create orders, dispatch drivers, check finances, close landfill runs.
Free means free. Forever.
We are the only full dumpster software in North America that is 100% free for every company size. Not a trial. Not a feature-gated freemium. Not a free plan capped at one truck. The whole product, unlimited orders and unlimited users, on the house.
How we make money: only when you opt in, and the numbers are public. The software is 100% free with unlimited orders and no per-order software fee. If you choose to collect a customer’s card payment through Dumpster Controls, the processing fee is 2.99% + $3.99 per card transaction on the free plan, or 2.99% + $0.30 (the standard Stripe rate) on the optional $169/month Unlimited plan. Take payment by cash, check, Zelle or any other way and you pay nothing at all. Our marketplace, the Dumpster Net Hub, charges zero marketplace fees. Run your own business your way and you never pay to use the software. It’s the only model that lets a 1-truck owner-operator run on the same software as a 50-truck fleet.
