A roll-off driver's day is four kinds of stop, repeated: drop an empty can, pick up a full one, dump it, and sometimes both at once as a swap. The roll-off driver app from Dumpster Controls is built around those four moves and nothing else. Open My Tasks and the day is a list in running order, each card with its stop number, the task type on a colored edge, the size, the time window, the address and the note from dispatch. A red LATE chip appears by itself when a date has passed.
A delivery is four moves
Tap On My Way and a driving timer starts; dispatch sees the stop as started. Open Map hands the address to Google Maps. At the site, tap I've Arrived, and the sheet asks for the After Delivery photo, which is stamped with the date, the location and the company name by itself. Then the card "Which dumpster did you drop?" lets you pick the unit from the list, scan the QR sticker on the can, or type the label painted on it. Drag Slide to complete all the way right, and confetti fires, the stop turns green, and the rental clock starts on the order.
A pickup runs the same way with one twist: when the can you collected is full, the toast says "Pickup completed. Landfill task prepared." and the landfill run opens by itself, with the closest landfills listed first. At the scale house you photograph the receipt, tap Submit Landfill Receipt, and the Receipt scan reads the net weight and the total off the photo for you to confirm. One slide saves the receipt and completes the run, and the truck is marked empty for the next delivery.
| Feature | Required photo | Extra step | What it changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery | After Delivery | Pick the unit dropped (list, QR scan or label) | Rental clock starts; can bound to the order |
| Pickup | After Pickup | Scanner checks it is the same unit that was delivered | Landfill task created and opened |
| Landfill run | Landfill Receipt | Receipt scan reads net weight and cost; confirm both | Disposal cost lands on the order; truck marked empty |
| Swap | Both of the above | SWAP OUT and SWAP IN as linked tasks on one stop | Full can leaves, fresh can placed, one visit |
Free means free. Forever.
The driver app is on the free plan with unlimited drivers, no per-seat fee, in English, Spanish and Portuguese, on the App Store and Google Play.
How we make money: only when you opt in, and the numbers are public. The software is 100% free with unlimited orders and no per-order software fee. If you choose to collect a customer’s card payment through Dumpster Controls, the processing fee is 2.99% + $3.99 per card transaction on the free plan, or 2.99% + $0.30 (the standard Stripe rate) on the optional $169/month Unlimited plan. Take payment by cash, check, Zelle or any other way and you pay nothing at all. Beyond that, our revenue comes from the optional Unlimited plan and from equipment partners and sponsors advertising in the app and on our public directory; our marketplace, the Dumpster Net Hub, charges zero marketplace fees. Run your own business your way and you never pay to use the software. It’s the only model that lets a 1-truck owner-operator run on the same software as a 50-truck fleet.
Truck Tablet Mode: the app on a tablet that belongs to the truck
On a tablet mounted in the cab the app becomes a different layout, built like a navigation head unit: the day list on the left, the live route map on the right, and a vertical rail of large buttons, every control at least 48 by 48 pixels. The tablet is paired to the company rather than to a person, so at shift change the next driver taps a face and types a 4 digit PIN, and every stop, photo and shift hour is still attributed to the individual. The map draws one trip at a time, solid when the truck carries a can and dashed when it runs empty, and a landfill run is drawn at the landfill rather than at the customer address.
When the signal drops at the landfill or on a rural route, the tablet keeps working: the day is cached on the device, every action queues, and the queue replays in order when the connection returns, with a sync badge that never says synced while something is waiting. Any Android tablet or iPad works, there is no hardware to buy from us, and the full guide is public at /help/driver-tablet.

The rest of the day in the same app
Messages is chat with the office. The Map tab draws the day with numbered pins, your position, the yard and nearby landfills with star ratings. Store for Later parks a full can at the yard when the landfill closed, hands the run back to dispatch and marks the truck empty. Ask Tresha opens the built-in assistant by text or voice, and she can complete a stop when you tell her it is done. The globe icon switches the app between English, Spanish and Portuguese.
The board that assigns the stops is at roll-off dumpster software; the cans, from empty to full and back, at roll-off container software; the longer feature-by-feature page for the app, GPS and vendor comparison included, at dumpster driver app. How the office follows trucks and cans is at dumpster tracking software, the serials the picker reads from are set up in the inventory software guide, the operation module by module is at roll-off management software, and what the software costs against every vendor's published price is at dumpster rental software cost.
