5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Buy Docket
Key Takeaways
- A dumpster rental business requires relatively low startup costs (around $30,000-$150,000 for a truck and $4,000-$8,000 per dumpster) but can generate significant monthly profits ranging from $40,000 to $176,000 depending on scale and experience.
- Success in the dumpster rental industry heavily depends on effective local SEO and website optimization to attract customers, as well as maintaining strong relationships with local landfill operators.
- The core operational requirements are minimal: a CDL-licensed driver, reliable trucks, dumpsters, and management software to handle scheduling and tracking.
- Customer service and clear rental agreements are crucial for building a sustainable business and avoiding disputes over fees, damages, or prohibited materials.

We weren’t getting our money’s worth before, and Docket is worth every penny. It really has saved me so much time, and with that time, I’m going out talking to new builders and securing extra revenue. We’re going out buying new dumpsters, and so there’s a direct correlation, I think, in the growth from an administrative standpoint.
Well worth it. Saves that time you invest up front. I mean, so if you look at that, 2 hours a day savings, 10 hours a week, that’s 40 hours a month. That’s huge.
Before Docket, I used to actually do most of the tracking and customer CRM management through a Google calendar. But the problem was it was super clunky, and it wasn’t really seamless. So, when I needed to actually charge the customer, I would use another program to charge the customer so we could take payment.
Ever since we started using Docket, it’s really nice to get all that payment information up front, the contract signed, and not only that, they have the credit card on file. Without something like Docket to scale to where we are, we would probably need another employee. And to continue to scale and maintain efficiency and good customer service, something like this is absolutely crucial.
Well, the previous software that I was using did really well with the junk removal and terrible with the dumpsters. A lot of it had to be manually done. You couldn’t pin drop where a dumpster was; it was just terrible. Docket is specific to dumpsters and junk removal. Finding a software that is specific to those two service lines has been a game changer for me.
