Each document is a row marked "Uploaded" (green) or "Not uploaded" (red). 2. ## 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. 3. ## View a document Click the eye icon ("View document") on an uploaded row. The file opens in a new browser tab. 4. ## 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. 5. ## 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. ## Troubleshooting ### I get "Upload failed". Check the file type and size (the wizard hint says "PDF, JPG, PNG up to 10MB") and your internet connection, then try again. ## Related guides - [How to edit a truck and complete its record in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/trucks-fleet/edit-a-truck-and-complete-its-record) - [How to track driver license expirations in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/team-roles/track-driver-license-expirations) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.

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.
