Where Scheduling & jobs fits
01 Intake is the operating context.
This page should not feel like an isolated feature sheet. It belongs to a role, a stage, a control, and an outcome in the Haultro operating spine.

The challenge
- !Recurring routes live in spreadsheets and a wall calendar, so a single driver swap or holiday shift breaks the whole week.
- !Same-day and on-demand requests get scribbled on sticky notes and slot into the wrong route, leaving trucks crisscrossing town.
- !Dispatch has no live view of what is done, what is running late, and what got skipped until a customer calls to complain.
- !Crew and truck assignments collide: two jobs need the same roll-off truck, or a driver is booked past legal hours.
- !Missed pickups, blocked containers, and access issues get rediscovered the next day instead of being rescheduled on the spot.
What it does
- ✓Build recurring service schedules (weekly, biweekly, monthly, every-other-week) that auto-generate work orders.
- ✓Drop in on-demand and same-day jobs and slot them into the right route by location, capacity, and time window.
- ✓Assign crews and trucks with conflict checks for availability, capacity, and hours.
- ✓Track live job status from scheduled to en route, on site, completed, or exception.
- ✓Capture and triage exceptions like blocked bins, no access, and missed pickups, then reschedule in one click.
- ✓Roll holiday calendars, route shifts, and one-off closures across affected accounts automatically.

Built for the way routes really run
One calendar for recurring routes and the chaos in between
Most waste operations run two systems at once: a tidy recurring route and a pile of exceptions, add-ons, and same-day calls that never fit it. Haultro keeps both in a single view so dispatch can rebalance the day without losing the week.
See recurring routes and on-demand jobs side by side on one timeline.
Filter by route, crew, truck, service type, or customer in a click.
Spot capacity gaps and overbooked trucks before the trucks roll.
Push a same-day request onto the nearest active route instead of a dedicated run.
When things go sideways
Exception handling that closes the loop
Blocked or inaccessible bin
Driver flags it from Haultro Driver with a photo; the job moves to exception and dispatch reschedules or notifies the customer.
Missed pickup
Any skipped stop is queued for same-day or next-available service and tied to the original work order for accountability.
Truck or crew down
Bulk-reassign an entire route to another crew and truck, with conflict checks, in one operation.
Landfill or weather closure
Shift affected jobs forward across the schedule and auto-notify impacted accounts.
Connected across the platform
One source of truth.
Routing & dispatch
Scheduled and on-demand jobs flow straight into route optimization, so a same-day add lands on the closest truck instead of a separate trip.
Driver app
Every assigned job appears in Haultro Driver with stop sequence, turn-by-turn, and proof of service, then status updates flow back to the calendar live.
Billing & invoicing
Completed work orders and on-demand jobs convert into billable line items, so a finished pickup is ready to invoice without re-keying.
Disposal & weight
Jobs tied to disposal capture ticket weights against the work order, keeping landfill and transfer-station costs matched to the right account.
How it works
Adopting scheduling & jobs.
01
Set the cadence
Define recurring service templates per account or container, and Haultro generates the work orders automatically on schedule.
02
Assign crews and trucks
Match jobs to crews and trucks with built-in conflict checks for availability, capacity, and driver hours, then publish the day to dispatch.
03
Dispatch and track live
Drivers receive jobs in Haultro Driver; status flows back to the calendar in real time with 15-second GPS so dispatch sees progress as it happens.
04
Handle exceptions and close out
Reschedule blocked, missed, or failed stops in one click; completed jobs carry proof of service into billing and reporting.
Standards & compliance
Built in, not bolted on.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can I run recurring routes and on-demand jobs in the same schedule?
Yes. Recurring service templates auto-generate work orders, and on-demand or same-day requests slot into the same calendar so dispatch works from one view instead of juggling lists.
How does scheduling handle missed or blocked pickups?
Drivers flag the issue from Haultro Driver with a photo, the job moves to an exception state, and dispatch can reschedule or re-route it in one click while keeping it linked to the original work order.
Does Haultro stop me from double-booking a truck or crew?
Assignment includes conflict checks for crew and truck availability, capacity, and driver hours, so the system warns you before two jobs collide on the same resource.
What happens on holidays or when a landfill is closed?
Holiday and closure calendars automatically shift affected recurring jobs, and you can bulk-reschedule a route for a weather or equipment-down day with affected accounts notified.
Do completed jobs flow into billing?
Completed work orders, including on-demand and add-on services, convert into billable line items with proof of service, so a finished pickup is ready to invoice without re-keying.
