Scheduling & Dispatch

Junk Removal Scheduling Software
Every Pickup, Every Truck and Every Dump Run in Order

A junk removal day is never the same twice. A mattress at 8, a garage cleanout at 9, a hot tub at noon, a dump run whenever the box is full, and two same-day calls that came in while the crew was loading. JunkBossPro puts every request on a Waiting List map, every booked job on a dispatch board by day and truck, and every stop in route order on the crew's phone, with the haul-to address and a Go button between jobs.

JunkBossPro dispatch board showing junk removal jobs by day and truck, with load sizes, items and haul-to stops in route order

Affordable Doesn't Mean Cheap.
This Is Real Dispatch for Junk Haulers.

Plans start at $59/month, and scheduling and dispatch are part of every plan. The Waiting List map, the dispatch board, auto-routing, route sheets, crew GPS and customer texts come with the platform, not as add-ons. To see how scheduling fits with estimates, the crew app and billing, start at JunkBossPro and then dig into the dispatch side here.

🗺️

Waiting List Map

Every request that isn't booked yet, on a live map and a list. See which single items sit near tomorrow's cleanout.

🚛

Board by Day & Truck

The dispatch board shows jobs by day, and a truck filter shows one truck's day at a time.

🧭

Auto-Routing

Closest First or Furthest First from the yard, then adjust the order by hand when a job needs to go first.

🏗️

Haul-To Stops

Each job says where the load goes: dump, transfer station, donation center or metal recycler, with a Go button for the crew.

💬

Automatic Customer Texts

Night-before, on-the-way and arrived alerts go out on their own, so the garage is open when the truck backs in.

🛰️

Crew GPS

Crew locations show on the office map, so a same-day call goes to the truck that is actually closest.

Every Job Shows the Load, the Items and Where It's Going

Scheduling junk is not like scheduling a lawn route. A single recliner takes fifteen minutes. A full estate cleanout takes the day and two dump runs. JunkBossPro keeps the load size, the item count, what's going and the haul-to stop on every job, so whoever builds the day can see how big each stop is before putting it on a truck.

  • Load size from Min Load and 1/8 up to Full Load, 1.5, 2 or 3 loads
  • Number of items and what's going, in plain words
  • Haul-to stop: dump, transfer station, donation center or metal recycler
  • On-site estimate visits as jobs on the same board
  • Access notes and past notes on the crew's card
  • Route order the crew sees on the phone, unchanged
Example Route — Truck 1, Tuesday
Stop 1 · Single Item
1 item · Min Load · Queen mattress and box spring
Next
Stop 2 · Half Truck Load
1/2 Load · Old patio set, grill and boxes by the curb
Then
Haul-To
County transfer station · Go button to navigate
Dump
Stop 3 · Appliances
2 items · 1/4 Load · Washer and dryer in the garage
Then
Stop 4 · On-Site Estimate
Basement cleanout walk-through, 20 minutes

Build Tomorrow's Day in a Few Minutes

Most junk owners plan the next day at night, after the trucks are parked. JunkBossPro keeps that short: look at the map of unbooked requests, put jobs on a truck and a day, route them, and the crew's phones are ready in the morning.

01

Requests Land on the Map

Website requests, phone calls and approved estimates show on the Waiting List map and list until they are booked.

02

Put Jobs on a Truck

Assign each job a day and a truck. Small loads and single items on one truck, cleanouts and big jobs on another.

03

Route the Day

Auto-route Closest First or Furthest First from the yard, then move a stop by hand if a customer needs the early slot.

04

Crew Runs the Route

The crew opens the day in route order, taps Go to each driveway and each dump, and the customer gets on-the-way and arrived texts.

Generic Scheduling Tools Treat Every Job the Same Size

A calendar app gives every job a time slot and an address. A junk job is a load size, a pile of items, a crew of two or three, and a dump somewhere between this stop and the next one. A schedule that can't see any of that leaves the owner doing the real planning in his head.

Ask any junk hauler how scheduling really works and you'll hear the same story: a whiteboard in the shop, a notebook in the truck, and a phone full of texts that say “can you guys come today?” Nobody knows whether the truck has room for one more couch after the 10 o'clock garage. Nobody wrote down which transfer station takes mattresses. The single-item call across town gets booked on the day the truck is on the other side of the county.

That information belongs on the job and on the map, not in one person's memory. When it's there, anyone in the office can build a sensible day and any crew can run it.

JunkBossPro keeps the request, the load, the route, the haul-to stop and the invoice in one place, from the first phone call to the paid job.

One Truck on Small Stuff, One on the Big Jobs

Most junk companies with two trucks end up with the same split: one truck running single items and small loads all over town, and one truck parked at a cleanout most of the day. JunkBossPro's dispatch board makes that split easy to see and easy to keep. Filter by truck, route each day from the yard, and drop the same-day calls on whichever truck is closest on the GPS map. For the full walkthrough, read Junk Removal Scheduling Software: The Complete Guide to Booking, Dispatching and Routing a Junk Hauling Company.

  • Dispatch board by day, filtered by truck
  • Auto-route Closest First or Furthest First from the yard
  • Haul-to stops planned between jobs
  • Waiting List map to fill the half-empty truck
  • Skips come back with the crew's note
  • Crew GPS on the office map
Example Dispatch Board — Thursday
Truck 1
Single items and small loads · seven stops, two dump runs
Truck 2
Estate cleanout · Full Load x 2 · donation center first
Owner
Three on-site estimate visits and a hot tub removal
After Hours
Apartment trash-out · Unit 14B · lockbox in notes
Every truck, every stop, in order.
The same order on the board and on the crew's phone.

Customers Know When the Truck Is Coming, So the Garage Is Open

Junk jobs go wrong when the customer isn't ready: the garage is locked, the car is parked in front of the pile, or nobody is home to point at what stays. Automatic reminders the night before, on-the-way and arrived texts as the crew works the route, and a live map in the customer app tell people when to expect the truck. Replies come back to the office through two-way texting.

  • Automatic on-the-way and arrived texts
  • Night-before, when-they're-next and crew-arrived alerts, chosen by the customer
  • Live route map with their place in line
  • Two-way texting with the office
  • Service requests, invoices and online payment in the customer app
Example Job Record
Service
Garage cleanout
Load
3/4 Load, about 20 items
What's Going
Shelving, old bikes, boxes, a chest freezer
Haul To
Transfer station, then metal recycler
Customer
Night-before and arrived texts on

Junk Removal Scheduling Software — Common Questions

How do new requests get onto the schedule?

Every request that isn't booked yet sits on the Waiting List, on a live map and a list. That includes website requests, calls the office enters, and on-site estimate visits. From there you give the job a day and a truck, and it moves to the dispatch board.

How does auto-routing work?

Pick a truck and a day and auto-route Closest First or Furthest First from your yard. You can then set the route order by hand, for example to put a customer who has to leave for work at the top. The crew's phone shows the same order.

Can I plan dump runs between jobs?

Each job carries a haul-to stop: the dump, transfer station, donation center or metal recycler where that load goes. The crew sees it on the job card with a Go button that opens navigation, so the run to unload is part of the day instead of a guess.

Can I schedule on-site estimate visits?

Yes. An estimate visit is just a job on the schedule, so it shows on the board and gets routed with everything else. When the customer approves the estimate online, the approved estimate becomes the scheduled job.

What happens on a rain day or when a customer cancels?

Move the job to another day on the board and re-route. If the crew gets there and can't do the job, they tap Skip and note why, and the office sees the note and texts the customer to rebook.

How much does it cost?

Start is $59/month, Pro is $89/month, and Crew is $199/month. Scheduling and dispatch are on every plan, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card.

Scheduling and dispatch are one piece of how JunkBossPro runs a junk removal company. For estimates, the crew app, dump fee overage, property manager accounts and billing, see the full JunkBossPro platform overview.
