How to manage a truck's documents in Dumpster Controls

Registration, insurance, and odometer files live on every truck by default, and you can attach any other paperwork your operation needs.

Open the "Documents" tab
On the truck's detail page, click "Documents". Each document is a row marked "Uploaded" (green) or "Not uploaded" (red).
Upload or replace a file
Click "Upload" on an empty row, or "Replace" on a filled one, and pick the file (images or PDF). A toast confirms the upload.
View a document
Click the eye icon ("View document") on an uploaded row. The file opens in a new browser tab.
Add a custom document
Click "Add Document", type a name in the field with the placeholder "Document name (e.g. DOT Permit)", then click "Upload" and choose the file. Press Escape or "Cancel" to abort.
Remove a custom document
Custom documents show a trash icon ("Remove document"). A toast confirms "Document removed". The three default rows ("Registration", "Insurance", "Odometer") cannot be deleted, only replaced.

What happens next

The header badge flips to "Docs Complete" once all three default documents are in.
On the Trucks list, the "Reg / Ins / Odo" chips turn green and the truck leaves the "Missing Documents" count.

Check the file type and size (the wizard hint says "PDF, JPG, PNG up to 10MB") and your internet connection, then try again.
