How to answer Max's briefing questions in Dumpster Controls

The briefing is a chat, not a form. Max asks one thing at a time, and a progress bar shows how much of the briefing is complete.

## Watch the progress bar
Under the header, the bar shows your progress as "{done} of 12 sections" with a percentage. The briefing covers your details, your business, service area, dumpsters, pages, content, design, contact and trust, integrations, domain, and online booking.
## Type your answers
Use the box with the placeholder "Type your answer…" and press Enter or the send button. Max replies in the language you chose, remembers everything, and moves to the next topic.
## Answer in your language
Max chats in English, Spanish, or Portuguese and follows your app language automatically. The website itself is always built in English.
## Do not worry about mistakes
If a message fails, Max says "Sorry, something went wrong. Could you try sending that again?" and you can simply resend. You can also correct any earlier answer by telling Max what changed.

What happens next

Every answer is saved automatically as you go (the header chip reads "Auto-saved").
When every section is complete, a green "Submit briefing" button appears above the message box.

Troubleshooting

Max keeps asking about things I already set up.

Max prefills what your account already knows and skips those questions. If something looks wrong, just tell Max the correct value in the chat; the briefing is reviewed by a human team before anything is built.

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.
