How to make an office user also a driver in Dumpster Controls

In small companies the dispatcher often drives too. One switch gives an office user a spot in the Drivers list without a second account.

Before you start

  • The Admin role.
  1. ## Option 1: from the edit form
    Edit the user on the "Admin Users" page, go to "Role & Options", and turn on "Also a Driver" ("Turn this on if they also do deliveries or pickups.").
  2. ## Optionally add the license
    The "Driver License (optional)" section appears with "License Number" and "Expiration Date". Filling the expiration lets the Drivers page track it for you.
  3. ## Option 2: from the Account Center
    In "Team and Permissions", flip the "Also a Driver" switch directly on the person's row.

What happens next

  • The person appears in the Drivers list with an "Admin" chip next to their name, can be assigned tasks on the Dispatch board, and their detail view notes "This user also appears in the Drivers list and can be assigned to routes."
  • The "Admin + Driver" counter on the Admin Users page includes them.
  • Turning the switch off removes their driver access and takes them out of the Drivers list; their office role is untouched.

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 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
