You get the same table as Rental History: "Order ID", "Customer", "Contracted", "Expenses", "P&L", "Status", and "Dates". Click any row to expand the full order panel with schedule, payment, photos, and invoice actions. Empty profiles show "No orders yet". 2. ## Option 2: expand the row in place On the Customers table, click the arrow at the start of a row or the orders pill in the "Orders" column (tooltip: "View orders & consolidate invoices"). The row expands into that customer's order list without leaving the page. 3. ## Work inside the expansion Each order row expands further for details, and unpaid invoices get checkboxes for consolidation. A bar above the list explains: "Select 2 or more unpaid invoices below to consolidate them into a single payment." 4. ## Check the money at a glance "Contracted" is what the customer agreed to pay, "Expenses" is your recorded cost, and "P&L" is the difference, so the history doubles as a per-customer profitability view. ## What happens next - The expanded order panel includes the invoice quick actions bar (copy link, open, resend, "Charge Card on File", and "Review request") when the order has an invoice. - The row expansion also hosts the Super Invoice workflow; the invoicing manual covers it end to end. ## Troubleshooting ### The expansion says "No orders for this customer." This customer has no orders yet. Orders are attached automatically when they book or when you create an order for them. ### An order's checkbox is disabled. Only invoices in sent or overdue status that are not already inside another consolidated invoice can be selected; the checkbox tooltip shows the reason. ## Related guides - [How to open a customer profile in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/customers/open-a-customer-profile) - [How to ask a customer for a Google review in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/customers/ask-for-a-google-review) - [How to consolidate invoices into one payment in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/invoicing-payments/consolidate-invoices-into-one-payment) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.

The entire app is free for any company at any fleet size: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost on the free plan is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. The entire app is free; an optional $169 per month plan lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30 and adds a Sponsored spotlight in the public company directory.

No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing. ### Is there a contract? No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional $169 lower card rate plan is billed month to month. ### Which countries and languages are supported? Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English. ### How do I switch from another dumpster software? Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 1,750 active US and Canadian landfills as counted on 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in.
