Site details are operationally critical
Gate times, access points, contacts, service history and disposal instructions need to reach the driver accurately, not live in someone's inbox.

A closer fit
Your workflow is more than a list of stops
Interceptor, gully, grease-trap and industrial liquid-waste jobs are shaped by site access, disposal arrangements and changing daily priorities. PaperRoute gives dispatch, drivers and accounts one view of the job without claiming to replace the technical controls your tanker operation already relies on.
Best suited to
Regional vacuum-tanker and liquid-waste contractors managing planned service visits, urgent call-outs and commercial multi-site accounts.
Reactive work reshapes the day
An urgent blockage or spill response can force dispatch to reallocate work while customers still expect updates on planned visits.
Paperwork changes with the material
Liquid waste is not one classification. The correct description, consignment process and destination depend on the actual contents and whether the waste is hazardous.
One connected flow
From booking to a complete job record
The detail changes by sector. The principle does not: capture the information once, at the point where it is known, and keep it with the job.
- 1
Book the site and service
Store the contact, access, service scope and configured waste details with the job, including recurring maintenance visits.
- 2
Dispatch a practical route
Sequence work using truck-aware routes and send live job details to the allocated driver's mobile app.
- 3
Record the completed visit
Capture notes, photos, signatures, waste information and exceptions against the service reference, even when signal is poor.
- 4
Review, document and invoice
The office checks the completed record, issues the appropriate configured customer documents and progresses approved charges to accounts.
PaperRoute in practice
Job management around your tanker operation
PaperRoute handles the customer, route, driver and document flow. It does not pretend to be a tank-capacity, lab-analysis or vehicle-control system.
- Recurring servicing and urgent call-out scheduling
- Truck-aware routing and live driver progress
- Site instructions in the offline-capable driver app
- Job photos, notes, timestamps and signatures
- Digital WTN and hazardous-note workflows where configured
- Customer portal and accounting integrations
Compliance context
The contents determine the paperwork
A liquid is not automatically hazardous or non-hazardous because of the vehicle collecting it. Waste classification must reflect the source, composition and relevant hazardous properties.
Non-hazardous transfers generally use waste transfer information. Hazardous waste movements require the applicable consignment-note process. Gully, interceptor, sewage and industrial liquids can also sit under different rules and exclusions.
PaperRoute can present configured workflows and create documents from recorded data, but your business remains responsible for sampling where needed, classification, permits, acceptance checks and the authorised destination.

Common questions
Liquid waste & tanker services FAQs
Is PaperRoute a tanker capacity-planning system?
No. PaperRoute manages jobs, customers, routes, driver records, documents and invoicing. Specialist vehicle controls, capacity calculations and technical treatment systems remain outside its scope.
Can PaperRoute schedule recurring interceptor or grease-trap services?
Yes. Repeat visits can be kept with the customer and included in the daily plan alongside reactive work, with site instructions sent to the driver app.
Does liquid waste use a WTN or a hazardous waste consignment note?
It depends on the waste. Non-hazardous transfers generally use waste transfer information, while hazardous movements require the relevant consignment-note process. Classify the actual material and check the applicable rules.
Can drivers attach site evidence?
Yes. The configured job workflow can include notes, photos and signatures so the office has more than a handwritten ticket when reviewing the visit.
