Can I charge for idle time with this?

Yes. Arrival-to-pour timestamps create a defensible record aligned to your contract terms for waiting time charges.

How is water addition signed off?

Drivers record exact litres added and capture the authoriser’s digital signature on site. It’s stored in the job’s audit trail.

Can drivers take photos?

Yes—geo-tagged, time-stamped photos are attached to the job for conditions, access or test results.

Does it produce an ePOD?

Yes—electronic proof of delivery with idle-time, water, signatures and photos included.

When does UK Digital Waste Tracking (DWT) become mandatory?

Government guidance indicates the service is planned to be mandatory for permitted/licensed waste receiving site operators from October 2026, with planned expansion to other operators from April 2027 (details to be confirmed).

What should a tipper operator record on every waste load?

Record what it was, quantity, where it came from, where it went, vehicle/driver, date/time, plus proof: photos and a signature when needed, with time/location stamps to reduce disputes.

What if there is no phone signal on site?

Tipper360 works offline: drivers capture the job and sync later when back in coverage.

What if the receiving site still wants paper?

You can email a PDF proof pack (and show a QR). The site can keep its current process while you keep clean digital records.

UK Digital Waste Tracking (DWT): what changes, and what you should do now

Most operators aren’t worried about “software”. They’re worried about getting caught out: missing details, wrong destination, no proof, or a site saying “we never received it”. Tipper360 gives you one proof pack per load (photos, signature, time & location) so you have something solid to stand over.

What DWT really means

Sites will need clean data and evidence. If your load details are messy, you’ll get delays and arguments.

What operators must protect

You need proof: what was moved, from where, to where, and when — backed by photos and sign-off.

What customers want

A quick PDF you can send. They don’t want a story — they want a record.
