How to add a driver and send the invite in Dumpster Controls
Creating a driver takes one form. The platform then invites them by email and text, walks them into the driver app, and tracks their license for you.
Before you start
An Admin or Supervisor role.
Open the form
In the sidebar, click "Drivers", then "New Driver". The form has two steps: "Basic Info" and "License".
Fill in the basics
Enter "First Name", "Last Name", and "Email" (required). The hint explains: "An invite email will be sent so the driver can set their password and access the system." Add the "Phone" so the invite also arrives as a text message.
Add the license
On the "License" step, fill "License Number" and "Expiration Date". The hint notes: "Ensure the license is valid and up to date. You will receive alerts when it is about to expire."
Create the driver
Click "Create Driver". A toast confirms "Driver created" with "Driver created. Invite email sent to {email}." (If the email already belongs to a user on your account, you will see "Driver linked" instead.)
What happens next
The driver receives an email titled "{Your company}: set up your driver account" saying "You've been added as a driver", with a "Set Your Password" button and four steps: set the password, download the Dumpster Controls Driver app, log in with their email and new password, and start receiving dispatch tasks. A "Get the driver app" section links the App Store and Google Play.
If a phone is on file, the driver also gets a text: "{Your company}: tap to create your password for the Dumpster Controls driver app" with a short link.
The invite link expires in 24 hours; the email tells the driver to "ask your manager to resend the invite from the Drivers page" if it did.
For the driver's next steps on their phone, see the driver app install guide.
Troubleshooting
I cannot create drivers.
Creating drivers requires an Admin or Supervisor role. Dispatchers will get an access denied error.
