Driver Day & GPS · updated 2026-10-01
How to replay a driver's route like a movie
The replay bar plays the day back on the map: a truck marker drives the route along the roads at the real pace of the recorded GPS, while the clock and speed run beside the scrubber.
Before you start
- Open a driver's "GPS Tracking" tab, or pick a driver in Driver Reports. During the launch promotion every account has the replay.
- ## Press play
The play button sits on the bar right below the map. The truck marker starts moving along the trail, and the time and speed of that exact moment show on the right of the bar. - ## Change the speed
Click the speed button ("4x" when the page opens) to cycle through 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x and 128x, even while the replay is running. - ## Jump to a moment
Drag the scrubber to any time of the day. The truck jumps to where the driver was at that moment.
What happens next
- Gaps where the phone had no signal are skipped automatically; the note "Signal lost, trail resumes at the next point" appears on the affected trip in the timeline.
Troubleshooting
The replay bar does not appear.
The replay needs at least two GPS points on that day. During the launch promotion it is open on every account; if the day shows "No GPS activity on this day", the driver app recorded nothing for that date.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dumpster Controls really free?
Yes. 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. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
