Industries · Waste & Recycling

What the truck did and what the customer paid should be the same number.

Hauling software runs the routes and the billing. Scale tickets, disposal charges, container swaps and extra pickups still move between them on paper and by hand. We close that gap.

The roll-off came back over its weight allowance. The overage never made it onto the invoice.

A hauler bills on two clocks at once. Residential and commercial routes bill the same amount every cycle. Roll-off and industrial work bills on what actually happened: the haul, the tonnage on the scale ticket, the landfill fee, the days the container sat. Every exception, a missed pickup, an extra lift, an overweight can, has to find its way from the driver to the invoice.

Where that trip is manual, money leaks both ways. Charges go unbilled, credits go unissued, and the customer disputes the invoice nobody can explain. We build the connections that carry what happened in the field straight to billing.

Where the software stops

Routing and billing, joined by a clipboard.

AMCS, Routeware, Soft-Pak, Hauler Hero and TRUX all cover routing and billing. The joins between the scale house, the driver and the office are where most haulers still work by hand.

Scale tickets arrive as paper

The landfill or transfer station prints a ticket. Tonnage and disposal fees have to be matched to the right haul and entered before the job can bill.

Exceptions do not always reach billing

Overloaded cans, blocked containers and extra pickups get photographed in the field, then need someone to decide the charge and add it.

Mid-cycle changes are manual

A customer adds a container, changes frequency or suspends service for a month. Prorating and changing the recurring charge is where billing errors start.

Nobody is sure where every box is

Roll-offs and front-load containers move between customers, the yard and repair. The container list and reality drift apart.

The paperwork

What every haul leaves behind.

Each of these has a number on it that belongs on an invoice or a cost report. The question is how many hands it passes through first.

Scale tickets
Gross, tare and net weight with the disposal site's fee, matched to the haul and the customer.
Disposal and tipping fees
Landfill and transfer station charges passed through to the customer or tracked as cost.
Work orders and service changes
Deliveries, swaps, pulls and frequency changes that alter what a customer is billed.
Service exceptions
Photos and notes from the driver that justify an extra charge or a credit.
Manifests for special waste
Tracking paperwork for loads that need it, filed and retrievable when asked.

How we help

Built around your hauling software.

Scale ticket capture

Tickets read from photos or scale-house exports and attached to the right haul with tonnage and fees.

Exception-to-invoice rules

Driver-reported exceptions turned into proposed charges or credits for a person to approve.

Recurring billing checks

Service changes compared against the recurring charges so prorations and suspensions are not missed.

Unbilled work queue

Completed hauls with no invoice line listed daily, before month-end closes.

Container tracking

Where each container is and how long it has been there, from the moves your drivers already record.

Customer self-service

Customers request pickups, swaps and dumpsters online, and the request arrives as a work order.

Margin by route and customer

Disposal costs set against revenue, so the accounts that lose money are visible.

A website you do not maintain

Managed Website plans from $95 a month, with service areas and ordering kept current.

Automation and custom software work is scoped and delivered for a fixed estimate you approve before we start.

Proof · Albright Labs · the same kind of work

991 invoices, recurring billing and renewals that reconcile themselves.

We have never hauled anything, and this is not waste industry experience. The closest proof is our own books. We run recurring invoices, service renewals and time entries through one system we built, and they reconcile against each other. When a draft slips its issue date, it still goes out instead of sitting stranded.

Recurring charges plus one-off events that must land on the same invoice is the hauler's billing problem in a different business.

Go deeper

Running a company's websites and tools without an IT team.

A hauler with routing software, a scale house, a driver app, accounting and a website has five systems and nobody whose job is making them agree. The playbook covers what that costs and where to start.
