The Problem

Paper job sheets don't scale

When your crew relies on clipboards and phone calls, jobs fall through the cracks. You lose time, evidence, and money.

A driver app that survives a 12-hour shift

ScaleYourJunk's driver app is purpose-built for junk removal crews — not adapted from a generic field service tool. PIN login instead of passwords. Load levels instead of generic status updates. Volume-based estimating instead of line-item quoting. Every screen is designed for gloved hands and bright sunlight.

  • check_circlePIN login with device trust — no emails or passwords
  • check_circleNative iOS and Android via Capacitor with web fallback
  • check_circleBackground GPS every 10 seconds for live fleet tracking
  • check_circlePhotos uploaded to Cloudinary with automatic compression
  • check_circleWorks offline — queues data and syncs when connected

Everything your crew needs on-site

Six core capabilities that replace clipboards, phone calls, and guesswork.

assignment

Daily Job Queue

Drivers see today's jobs sorted by route order with address, time window, customer name, volume estimate, and access notes. Status updates sync to dispatch instantly.

  • check_circleAuto-sorted by route order and time slot
  • check_circleShows quoted volume, heavy item flags, and job type
  • check_circlePull-to-refresh for real-time dispatch changes

navigation

One-Tap Navigation

Tap any job address to launch native GPS navigation. The app detects whether Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze is installed and opens the driver's preferred app.

photo_camera

Photo Evidence & Signatures

Capture before, during, and after photos using the native camera. Collect e-signatures on the device screen. All evidence is timestamped, GPS-tagged, and attached to the job record.

  • check_circleBefore/after photos with captions
  • check_circleE-signature capture on device
  • check_circleAuto-upload to Cloudinary CDN

Load Reporting & Dump Runs

After each job, the driver reports the truck's load level: Empty, Quarter, Half, Three-Quarters, or Full. A Full report notifies dispatch and can trigger automatic route replanning to insert a dump run.

  • check_circleFive load levels: EMPTY to FULL
  • check_circleFull truck triggers dump run insertion
  • check_circleLoad history tracked per truck per day

On-Site Estimating

When a customer has more items than expected, the driver opens the estimate wizard. Select a load tier with the visual truck-fill slider, flag edge cases, and generate a price range — no phone call to the office needed.

  • check_circleCategory-based load estimation
  • check_circleVolume tier pricing (1/8 to 1+ loads)
  • check_circlePrice range sent to customer instantly
schedule

Shift Clock & Time Tracking

Drivers clock in and out from the app. Shift hours are calculated automatically with GPS-verified start and end times. No paper timesheets, no buddy punching.

More than just job completion

Advanced workflows that go beyond basic field service apps.

Dumpster rental jobs appear alongside regular junk removal in the daily queue. Drivers process deliveries, pickups, and container swaps with container size, debris type, and rental number visible on every job card.

Driver App FAQ

Common questions about the ScaleYourJunk driver and crew app.

Drivers wear gloves, work outside, and share tablets between shifts. A 4-digit PIN is faster and more practical than typing an email and password. The PIN is tied to a trusted device ID, so it stays secure. Each session issues a 12-hour JWT that expires automatically at the end of a shift.

Both. ScaleYourJunk uses Capacitor to wrap the same codebase into a native iOS and Android shell. Drivers get native GPS, camera, haptic feedback, and offline storage while the interface stays identical across platforms. It also works as a progressive web app in any mobile browser.

When a driver clocks in or starts a route, the app activates background GPS that reports the truck position every 10 seconds using native Capacitor geolocation. Dispatch sees each truck on the live map in real time. GPS runs in the background even when the screen is off, and stops automatically when the driver clocks out.

After completing a job, the driver selects the current truck load level: Empty, Quarter, Half, Three-Quarters, or Full. If the truck is Full or Three-Quarters, dispatch is notified and the system can trigger route replanning — inserting a dump run before the next pickup. This keeps trucks from running overloaded and ensures accurate capacity-aware scheduling.

Yes. Dumpster jobs appear in the daily queue alongside regular junk removal pickups. Drivers can process deliveries, pickups, and container swaps directly from the app. Each dumpster job shows the container size, debris type, and rental number. The driver confirms placement with a photo and the rental status updates automatically in dispatch.

The app uses native device storage to cache job data, photos, and form entries when offline. Evidence photos queue locally and upload to Cloudinary automatically when connectivity returns. GPS positions buffer and sync in batches. The driver can continue completing jobs, capturing photos, and collecting signatures while offline — everything syncs when the connection is restored.
