# How to see every job cost in one place

The "Job costs" tab of the Expenses page lists every cost recorded on your orders and junk jobs, so you can audit spending without opening orders one by one.

## Before you start

- Open Finances, click the "Expenses" pill, then the "Job costs" tab.

1. ## Read the cards
  "Company cost total" sums the real costs in the period (customer-billed charges and refunded rows are excluded), "Labor total" isolates driver labor, and the entries counter shows how many rows the filters matched.
2. ## Filter and scan the list
  Filter by period, cost type, or driver. Each row shows the date, the order or job number, the category with badges for "Customer charge" and "Refunded" when they apply, the amount, the driver, and the description or vendor.
3. ## Jump to the order
  Click any row to open that order's drawer in Orders P&L, where you can edit the cost, see payments, and take action.

## What happens next

- This tab is a view and a shortcut: recording costs still happens on the order (Add Cost) or through the bank tab.

## 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.
