How to set weight limits and extra fees for a size in Dumpster Controls

Steps 3 and 4 of the size wizard turn your disposal economics into automatic invoice math: included tonnage, overage rates, and the fees every rental carries.

  1. Decide on weight charges

    Step 3, "Extra Weight Charge", asks "Do you charge based on weight?" with "Add" or "No". Choosing "Add" reveals "Initial weight included (Ton):" (the tonnage covered by the base price) and "Additional charge per Ton:" (the overage fee).

  2. Configure the fees

    The "Additional fees" step has two toggles: "Fuel Surcharge (FSC)?" with a flat "Fee amount:" (added to invoices when enabled), and "Do you charge sales tax?" with a "Percentage:". Choosing "No" on the step's Add/No control turns both fees off for this size while keeping your values saved.

  3. Enable customer self-service (optional)

    The "Customer portal" block asks "Let the customer request a rental extension?". When on, customers can request extra days from their tracking link; the request always waits for your approval and extra days use the additional day price already set for this size.

  4. Save

    Click "Save" (or "Update" when editing). The tooltips on each field explain exactly where the amount lands on the invoice.
