How to manage a truck's photos in Dumpster Controls

Four photo slots document the truck's condition from every side, which is handy for insurance and for spotting new damage.

1. ## Open the "Photos" tab
   On the truck's detail page, click "Photos". You get one slot per side: front, right, left, and rear. Empty slots say "Click to upload".
2. ## Upload a photo
   Click an empty slot and choose the image. To swap a photo, click the filled slot and pick a new file; it replaces the old one.
3. ## View it full screen
   Hover a photo and click the expand icon to open it in a lightbox. Click the X or anywhere outside to close.
4. ## Remove a photo
   Hover the photo and click the trash icon. A toast confirms "Photo removed".

What happens next

• The "Overview" tab's "Photos" card shows the same four slots with the "{x}/4 uploaded" counter.
• The wizard's "Photos" step ("Front", "Right Side", "Left Side", "Rear") edits the same slots.

Troubleshooting

The new photo looks like the old one.

Uploads replace the file in place and the page refreshes the image automatically. If the browser still shows the old shot, reload the page.

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 2026-10-23, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
