The screen stays awake and the map pans to follow every GPS fix. 2. ## Read the "Next task" card A card pinned at the bottom shows "Next task" with the type and address of your next uncompleted stop. Tapping the card opens the task sheet. 3. ## Tap "Go" The "Go" button beside the card opens turn-by-turn directions to that stop in Google Maps. 4. ## Complete and continue When you finish a stop, the card advances to the next one automatically. Toggle "Truck mode" off when you are done driving. ## What happens next - Truck mode works together with "Satellite" and the layer chips, so you can drive with the exact view you prefer. ## Troubleshooting ### The card does not appear. The "Next task" card only shows while Truck mode is on and you still have uncompleted stops with a map location. ## Related guides - [How to use the driver map in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/use-the-driver-map) - [How to read your task list in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/read-your-task-list) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.

The software is free: 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. An optional Unlimited plan at $169 per month lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23. ### Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order? 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 Unlimited 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.
