# How to take an order from another company in Dumpster Controls

Taking an order moves it into your own account as regular work. The confirmation modal shows exactly what you will earn before you commit.

## Before you start

- Your company is Hub authorized (green "Hub Authorized" badge in the header).

1. ## Click "Take"
  On a listing card, click "Take" (or "Take This Order" inside the detail drawer). The "Take Order" modal opens with the dumpster size, the pickup city and distance, and the delivery date.
2. ## Review the pricing
  The "Pricing" section lists "Order Value (Resale)", "Hub Fees ($0)", and "You Receive". You receive the full asking amount.
3. ## Read the escrow notice
  The modal states: "Order will be transferred to your Dumpster Controls account. Funds held in escrow until service completion."
4. ## Agree and confirm
  Check "I agree to the Network Hub terms and conditions." and click "Confirm Order". The button shows "Confirming…" while the acceptance runs.

## What happens next

- A toast confirms "Order Accepted" with "Order is now in your account under Waiting Delivery." A mirror order appears in your operations with the full delivery address, ready to assign to a driver and dispatch like any other job.
- The listing leaves the marketplace pool and the seller sees it as "Accepted" with "Accepted by: Verified Network Member".
- Deliver the order and confirm delivery with a photo, exactly like your own orders. That confirmation is what releases your payment from escrow.

## Troubleshooting

### I get "Could not accept order".

The listing may have expired or been taken by another company seconds before you. Refresh the marketplace and pick another order.

### The "Confirm Order" button stays disabled.

You must check the terms agreement first. Also, you cannot confirm your own listing.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The entire app is free for any company at any fleet size: 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. The entire app is free; an optional $169 per month plan lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30 and adds a Sponsored spotlight in the public company directory. 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 $169 lower card rate 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 2026-10-23, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
