PILLAR 04 · SCALE TICKETS & AUTOMATED TONNAGE BILLING

Dumpster tonnage billing software that stops you from eating landfill fees.

When customers overload a 20-yard dumpster with tile, dirt, or wet roofing shingles, the transfer station charges you heavy disposal fees. If you forget to bill that overage—or the customer refuses to pay—it comes straight out of your pocket. RollOS automates scale ticket capture and charges the customer card on file instantly.

HOW THE MATH WORKS

Zero guesswork. Zero manual calculator mistakes.

When a rental agreement includes 2.0 tons and the scale ticket comes in at 3.42 tons, you are owed 1.42 tons at your overage rate (e.g. $85/ton = $120.70). RollOS computes this automatically, formats the invoice line item, and applies the charge.

HOW IT WORKS

From Transfer Station Scale to Paid Invoice in 4 Steps

Built to work smoothly from the truck cab without requiring hours of evening paperwork.

01

Driver Snaps Scale Ticket

At the transfer station or landfill, the driver snaps a phone photo of the certified weight slip through their SMS route link.

02

Automatic Net Weight Math

Gross weight minus tare weight gives exact net tons. RollOS subtracts the customer included tonnage allowance automatically.

03

Itemized Digital Invoice

The system generates a clean invoice attaching the photo of the landfill ticket so the customer has undeniable visual proof.

04

1-Click Stripe Card Charge

Charge the customer card authorized at booking with 1 click. Zero awkward phone calls, zero unpaid check chasing.

Chargeback Protection

When a customer sees an extra $150 overage charge, they often call their credit card company claiming fraud. With RollOS, the digital signature and certified scale slip photo are attached, giving you ironclad evidence that wins 100% of disputes.

Prohibited Item Penalties

Did the customer hide 4 car tires or an old mattress under construction debris? Add designated environmental surcharge line items with 1 click so you pass landfill fines directly to the customer.

Direct Stripe Billing

Because credit cards are securely tokenized through Stripe Connect at initial online booking, you can charge balances without asking the customer for their card numbers over an awkward phone call.
