Dayjob

Where Dayjob earns its money is the boring, high-friction part of skip hire: a planner staring at tomorrow's board, juggling which 8-yarder goes where, what stacks, and which driver is starting late. The agent takes that off the desk and returns a full schedule in about a minute, built around priorities you set once. In practice, most of the value lands on day one — not in the headline optimisation, but in the in-day planner. Driver calls in sick at 6:40am and a job cancels at 7:15am, and the schedule rebuilds itself instead of eating the transport manager's morning. When to pick it: you're a skip hire operator or short-haul waste fleet on one of the three supported ERPs, your planners are the bottleneck, and customer time windows are costing you repeat business. The 50% time-window compliance figure is the one I'd watch closest in a trial, since that's the number customers actually feel. When to pass: long-haul freight, general courier or multi-stop delivery work, or any operation without a real booking system underneath. There's no driver mobile app — this is a desktop tool for planners, so if your drivers need to receive and update jobs on a phone, this isn't the product. The bespoke-report route for non-Weighsoft/PurGo/Wastelogics ERPs is workable but adds setup friction the native integrations don't have; native expansion across major waste ERPs is still in progress per the vendor. Caveats worth flagging before you sign. The 11% revenue figure rests on the vendor's own modelling of a 15-driver fleet and a 10% time-efficiency assumption inside their calculator — treat it as a hypothesis, not a forecast. Bespoke-report integration on an unsupported ERP is the single biggest source of day-one surprises. And because scheduling quality depends on clean job data and
