How to accept a delivery suggestion in Dumpster Controls

When a truck frees up with an empty can of a matching size, Dispatch suggests the next delivery for it right at the top of the board.

1
Read the banner
A suggestion card appears above the board: the truck or driver name, "is empty with" the can size, then "Suggested:" with the order number and delivery address.
2
Accept it
Click "Assign" on the banner to give that delivery to the suggested driver and truck. A toast confirms "Delivery assigned".
3
Or dismiss it
Click the X to dismiss the suggestion. It disappears without changing anything.

What happens next

The delivery moves into the driver's lane like any other assignment, and the banner clears.

Suggestions only appear when the system detects an empty truck carrying a can that matches a pending delivery. No match, no banner.
