A load of septage is a full day whatever the clock says, and the receiving station stops taking loads long before dark. Both of those belong in the schedule, and neither one is ever in it.
Online booking
Homes take the daylight end of the day and kitchens take the late end, and the unload run is counted inside every job, so the truck is never oversold.

The day reads in driving order with honest durations on it, so you can tell before you leave whether the last tank still leaves you the road to unload.
Learn moreThree good-sized tanks and there is nowhere left to put anything. A fourth booking is not revenue, it is a phone call you make at two in the afternoon.
If the duration is only the time at the lid, the calendar believes the truck empties itself. Put the whole task in and the road time is reserved along with everything else.
Push a pump to tomorrow and the work behind it travels too, with the driver seeing the change before you have finished explaining it to the customer.
Nothing about moving work around the day is a paid feature. What sits on Pro is the smarter question of what deserves to go into the hole you just opened.
A kitchen cannot be pumped out during service and a household does not want you there at midnight. They are two different products, not one product with a note on it.
Trap work carries its own availability, so a restaurant only ever sees the late slots and a homeowner only ever sees the morning ones.
Recurring visits are free on every plan. Set the interval once and the trap keeps landing on the calendar with its access time on it.
A level check is twenty minutes and a full tank is most of a morning. Duration is per service, so neither has to pretend to be the other.
The tank is right up and there is a smell in the yard. It was last done about four years ago, I think. Anything today or tomorrow?
There is no version of a full tank that bends. What you want is for the asking to keep working while the answering waits, and that is what a thread does.
A household pump-out picked a slot at eleven at night, took the address and the tank details with it, and was on the run before you opened the laptop.
Where the lid is, whether it has to be dug out, what the baffle looked like last time and every visit since. Read before the truck leaves the yard, not after.
Every tank you empty
The two to three year pump on a rural home off the sewer. Daytime work, and a longer drive out than the map ever suggests.
Work that can only happen after the kitchen closes. Its own service, its own late hours, its own rate, its own billing contact.
Tanks with no field at all, so the interval is a function of how many people are in the house. Recurring, and often needed sooner than planned.
A tank backing up on a Sunday in February. It jumps the route, everything behind it shifts, and every customer moved has to be told.
Open-up and close-down visits clustered into two short windows a year, booked against the route rather than pinned to a fixed date.
A pump and an inspection before closing, with a written report the agent needs this week. Sent from the job rather than typed up later.
The scheduled service on a treatment unit. Shorter than a pump, priced as its own job, and due whether the owner remembers or not.
The tank that keeps needing the truck because the bed has quit taking water. Quoted as an evaluation first, repair second, on one document.
Larger systems on a term cycle, billed to a board that wants a numbered document with a date it can put in a binder.
The short visit that settles whether the truck is needed at all. Booked, recorded and priced as the small job it really is.
Ninety minutes for one residential tank is not a job, it is the afternoon. Decide that boundary once, in daylight, rather than every time the phone rings.
Past your coverage. Decline politely, or make an exception.
Flagged before it is accepted, so the long haul is a decision you make in the morning rather than something you discover at the second gate.
An interceptor cancels and eleven at night is suddenly free. That gap is either a bonus or an hour of empty highway, and the difference is geography.
Every open slot is scored against the route already built, so what surfaces at the top of the booking page is what costs you the least extra driving.
Ranking has one job and it is choosing what to offer next. It has no authority over the sequence you already gave people times for.
A tank due two years early is not a pumping problem. Put the pump, the baffle and the weeping bed work in front of them together.
Options on a quote come with Pro. They tick the effluent filter or the bed evaluation and the total redraws itself under their thumb, which is the entire reason the second quote never has to exist.
Quantity against rate, line by line. The pump, the second compartment and the extra hose total the same on a laneway as they would if you were sitting at the desk.
Chipping a lid out in February and dragging two hundred feet of hose over snow is an hour of somebody. Named on its own line it reads as work; buried in the total it reads as a markup.
A document number is assigned once and then it is fixed. Months later the quote and the invoice still point at each other, which is the whole point of numbering anything.
Two customers, two rhythms: the homeowner who wants it done with, and the restaurant that runs on account. Both should finish where the work finished.
What came in gets recorded against the job on any plan. The free tier has no interest in standing between you and payment for a tank that is already empty.
A link sent from the driveway clears before you have coiled the hose. It replaces the reader nobody wants in a cab and the invoice slowly curling in the door pocket.
A weeping bed rebuild can ask for money in parts, on Pro. Those requests belong to the job once it exists, never to the moment somebody chooses a date.
One app for the whole job
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
The job length. Build the unload run into the service duration and the calendar treats the whole thing as occupied, which means the fourth slot is never on the booking page to be taken.
That is what separate services are for. Interceptor work carries late availability and residential pumping carries daytime availability, and a customer only ever sees the set belonging to what they picked.
No, and recurring bookings are free rather than a paid extra. The interval is set once and the visit reappears carrying the access window, the notes and the rate it had last month.
With the property, not with the invoice. Size, riser location, whether the lid comes out of a snowbank in March, your last three visits and whatever you wrote about the weeping bed are all on the one record.
Only your half of it, and that is worth being plain about. Requirements change from one municipality to the next, so what you get is a dated record per site with your files on it. Nothing is filed for you and no licence is held for you.
Recording cash or an e-transfer by hand works on every plan, free included. Taking a card is a Pro feature, and it turns a rural pump from an invoice you chase into money that clears before the lid is back down.
