Driver Day & GPS · updated 2026-10-01

# How GPS access works on the free plan

During the launch promotion the whole GPS module is open to every account, free plan included, with no counter. This article explains what is open now and what changes later.

1. ## Use everything now
  The banner "Launch promotion: full GPS tracking unlocked for every account" shows on the GPS pages. Every driver, any date in the last 90 days, the replay, Driver Reports with CSV export, the weekly recap and the end-of-day email are open. Nothing is counted while the promotion lasts.
2. ## Know what comes next
  When the promotion ends, the free plan moves to time-limited access to the advanced GPS, and the Unlimited plan keeps it unlimited. The live fleet map stays free on every plan.
3. ## See the plans
  "See plans" on the banner opens Account, Billing, where the Unlimited card lists everything the advanced GPS includes.

## What happens next

- Accounts in Canada have the same access during the promotion.
- Access is decided on the server for the whole account, not per user.

## Troubleshooting

### I used my 5 free GPS days before the promotion. Is the module still locked?

No. The promotion opens the module on every account, including accounts that had used their trial days.

## 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.
