The app walks you through each one. 1. ## Tap "On My Way" Open the delivery and tap "On My Way". The task goes in progress and the sheet shows an "En Route" card with a live "Driving time" timer. Dispatch sees the stop as started. 2. ## Navigate Use "Open Map" on the address card to hand the destination to Google Maps, then drive. 3. ## Tap "I've Arrived" At the site, tap "I've Arrived". The sheet switches to the arrived state and reminds you: "Upload the delivery photo to complete this task." 4. ## Take the photo In the photo slots, the "After Delivery" slot is highlighted as "Required". Tap it and choose "Take Photo" or "From Library". The photo is stamped with the date, location, and your company name automatically. 5. ## Log the dumpster (optional) The "Which dumpster did you drop?" card lets you pick the physical unit you delivered, scan its QR code, or type the label written on the can. It is optional: "No unit / Not informed" skips it and an admin can mark it later. 6. ## Slide to complete Drag the "Slide to complete" control all the way right. Confetti fires, the toast confirms "Complete Delivery done.", and the stop turns green in your list. ## What happens next - The order's rental clock starts and dispatch sees the delivery as completed in real time. - If you picked a unit, the dumpster is bound to the order for tracking and future pickup. ## Troubleshooting ### I need to abort the trip. While en route, tap "Cancel Trip" and confirm "Cancel this trip?". The task returns to its previous state and the toast shows "Trip cancelled." ### The unit I picked shows "This dumpster is no longer available. Please choose another unit." Another delivery took that can first. The list refreshes; pick a different unit or enter the label manually. ## Related guides - [How to add proof photos to a task in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/add-proof-photos-to-a-task) - [How to complete a pickup in the Dumpster Controls Driver App](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/complete-a-pickup) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.
