HaulHQ is hauling business software for junk removal and dumpster rental operators. It brings lead intake, job scheduling, payments, and customer follow-up into one service, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Leads can arrive through a zip-first form that sends instant text and email replies, or an AI chatbot that qualifies inquiries, gives price ranges, and books jobs. For dispatch, teams get drag-and-drop tools, a driver app, optional live crew location, and a calendar with arrival windows. Payment options include Stripe card payments, payment links, invoices, and on-site card, cash, or check collection. HaulHQ also offers two-way texting, automated follow-ups and Google review requests, and a customer portal accessed by magic link. A margin calculator estimates quote profit from disposal fees, labor, and fuel; revenue reporting is included. The free base plan has no monthly subscription, charges $1.50 per completed job and 1.5% on card payments on top of Stripe’s rate, with fees capped at $149/mo per service type. The first five jobs are free.
