How do I set up and charge for dry runs?

Dry runs are trips where your driver goes out to a requested stop, but can’t complete the service. For example, the container may be missing, blocked, or empty. Many haulers opt to charge a fee for such a trip.

In this article, we’ll cover:

  • How do add “Dry Run” to your service actions

  • How to set a Dry Run price on a customer’s service

  • How to record a Dry Run on the day it happens


How do I add Dry Run to my actions and business line?

Go to Settings > Business Lines > Attributes > Actions.

Scroll down, click Add Action, then add “Dry Run” to your list of actions.

Next, to add it to your business line, go to Business Lines > Create & Configure, select your business line, then check off “Dry Run” as an action.

How do I set a Dry Run price on a customer’s service?

Go to a customer’s Configured Service details page > Details & Billing > Action Based Pricing and click the + icon.

In the new row, set Action to Dry Run and enter its fee in Price. Click Save to add it.

How do I record a Dry run on the day it happens?

Open the customer’s service and locate the work order under Events. Click the 3-dot menu, followed by Edit Action.
