The day plan
Every active driver is a lane. Stops are blocks on the time axis, numbered in route order and colored by service. Today shows the six busiest drivers; the dispatch schedule shows all of them.
Dispatch you can read from across the room.
A lane per driver on a time axis. Unassigned work in its own lane. Each driver's stops in the order you want, with the truck they're running today. It's the whiteboard, minus the marker smudges.
The whiteboard works until somebody erases the wrong line.
The way it runs now
- Tomorrow's route is in a spreadsheet only you know how to read.
- A 30-yard swap gets put on the truck that can't carry it.
- Overdue pickups are found when the customer calls angry.
- You rebuild the route in your head every time a job moves.
With DumpTracker
- Schedule, Upcoming, Unscheduled, Overdue, and Completed tabs.
- Each truck has a max dumpster size. Mismatches get flagged.
- Overdue shows a count, so nothing sits on site forever.
- Move a stop up or down and the driver's list updates.
The dispatch schedule
Routes and trucks
Pick the truck each driver is running today and set the order of their stops. If a driver is on Truck 4 with a 15-yard max and you hand them a 20, it says so.
- Default truck per driver, changeable by day.
- Manual stop order with up and down arrows.
- Done stops are marked as the driver completes them.
Every job broken into steps
A swap is four steps: deliver the replacement, remove the outgoing can, empty it, return it to the yard. A dump and return is pick up, empty, return. Drivers see what to do at each one, and you see where each job is.

Assign and order
Set the window, assign the driver, order the route.

The confirmed window

Questions operators ask
Is there drag-and-drop scheduling?
Stops are assigned from each job and ordered with up and down arrows in Routes and trucks. It's quick and hard to fat-finger from a phone.
Does it plan the best route for me?
No. DumpTracker doesn't optimize routes. You set the order. Drivers open each address in Google or Apple Maps for directions.
Can I see past days?
Yes. Step back and forward a day at a time, or use the Completed tab.
Does a booking from my website show up here?
You add the job in DumpTracker when the rental is booked. There's a field for your booking or invoice reference so the two systems line up.
