Septic Route Planning Software

Septic Route Planning Software
Built Around the Pump Truck, Not a Spreadsheet

A septic route is not a delivery route. Every stop pulls gallons into a tank that only holds so much, every full load means a run to the disposal site, and half your customers live at the end of a gravel road twenty minutes from the next one. SepticBossPro puts your jobs on a route map, assigns them to trucks, and lets you order the stops with drive times in front of you, so every pump truck leaves the yard with a day that actually works.

Affordable Doesn't Mean Cheap.
This Is Real Routing & Dispatch for Pump Trucks.

Plans start at $59/month and you are never billed per user. Route maps, trucks, the dispatch board, and the crew app are part of the platform, not a pricey add-on you discover after signing. To see how routing fits with scheduling, records, and billing, start at SepticBossPro and then dig into route planning here.

🗺️

Route Maps

Every scheduled job pinned on a map. Order the stops with drive times in view so the truck works outward and back instead of zig-zagging across the county.

🚛

Trucks

Set up each pump truck and assign the day's stops to it. The vac truck, the service truck, and the install rig each get their own run.

🛢️

Tank Details on Every Stop

Tank size in gallons, lid depth in inches, drain field size, and tank location notes live on the property, so you can plan loads and stop times before the truck rolls.

📋

Dispatch & Job Board

One board for the day. Pull jobs off the waiting list, slot them onto trucks, and reshuffle when an emergency backup calls in at 10am.

📍

Live Crew GPS

The crew mobile app reports where each truck is, so the office knows who is closest when a new call comes in and when a driver is heading to dump.

💬

Automated Customer Texts

On-the-way and job-completed texts go out automatically, so homeowners unlock the gate and tie up the dog instead of calling the office.

Plan Each Load Before the Truck Leaves the Yard

The question every septic dispatcher answers is simple: how many tanks fit before this truck has to dump? SepticBossPro keeps the tank size on every property record, so when you lay out a route you can see the gallons stacking up stop by stop and decide where the disposal run belongs, instead of finding out in a driveway with a full truck and three stops left.

  • Tank size (gal) stored on every property
  • Lid depth (in) so you know which stops need digging time
  • Tank location notes for the driver who has never been there
  • Order stops on the map with drive times in front of you
  • Decide where the dump run falls between stops
  • Assign the finished run to a specific truck
Example Load Plan — Truck 2
Stop 1 · Pump-Out
1,000 gal tank · lid 18 in
1,000 gal
Stop 2 · Pump-Out
1,250 gal tank · lid 6 in
2,250 gal
Stop 3 · Inspection
1,000 gal tank · riser on lid
3,250 gal

Stop 4 · Pump-Out

Routing Your Office Can Run on Day One

You do not need a logistics department to route four pump trucks. SepticBossPro keeps the route, the truck, the tank details, and the customer together, so the person answering the phone can build tomorrow's runs without a training course.

01

Load Your Customers and Tanks

Bring in customers and properties with tank size, lid depth, drain field size, and tank location notes. That is the information every route decision depends on.

02

Pull Jobs Onto Trucks

Work the waiting list and the job board: pick the pump-outs, inspections, and repairs for the day and assign them to the truck that makes sense.

03

Order Stops on the Map

See the stops pinned on the route map with drive times, put them in an order that keeps the truck moving, and plan where the disposal run lands.

04

Drivers Run It From the App

Each driver sees the stops, the notes, and the tank details on the crew app, shares GPS, takes photos, and marks each job complete from the truck.

Generic Field Software Doesn't Think Like a Pump Truck

Most scheduling tools assume a tech drives to a job, works, and drives to the next one. A septic truck fills up. It has to dump. Its stops can be thirty miles apart on county roads. A route that ignores that is a route your driver rewrites from the cab.

Ask any septic dispatcher how the day really gets built and you will hear the same story: a wall map, a whiteboard, a stack of tickets, and a lot of memory. Which customer has a 1,500-gallon tank. Which lid is two feet down. Which farmhouse is past the low-water crossing. Which truck is already half full by ten.

That knowledge belongs in the system, not in one person's head. When it lives on the property record and shows up on the route, anyone in the office can plan a load and any driver can find the tank.

SepticBossPro is built so the route, the truck, and the tank details sit in one place, from the first phone call to the paid invoice.

Route Planning Features for Pumping Companies

Every tool here exists to get pump trucks through a full day with fewer wasted miles and fewer surprises in the driveway.

🗺️

Route Maps

See every scheduled job pinned on the map and put the stops in an order that makes sense, with drive times in front of you.

🚛

Truck Assignments

Set up your trucks and assign each day's stops to the right one, whether it is the pump truck, the service truck, or the install crew.

📋

Dispatch & Job Board

One board for the whole day. Move jobs between trucks and reshuffle when a call comes in or a truck goes down.

⏳

Waiting List

Jobs that are not on a truck yet wait on the list, so nothing gets lost between the phone call and the route.

🔁

Recurring Jobs

Set recurring pump-outs and inspections so repeat work comes back around without anyone rebuilding it by hand.

🏷️

Job Categories

Pump-Outs, Inspections, Repairs, Installs, Grease Traps, and Drain Fields, so you can see what kind of work is on each route at a glance.

🛢️

Tank Size & Lid Depth

Tank size in gallons and lid depth in inches on every property, the two numbers that decide how long a stop takes and how fast a truck fills.

📝

Tank Location & Drain Field Notes

Where the tank sits, how big the drain field is, and anything the next driver needs to know, saved on the property.

📍

Crew App GPS

Drivers run the day from the crew mobile app, which shares their GPS so the office can see where each truck is.

📷

Photos From the Field

Drivers snap photos of the tank, the lid, or the problem they found, tied to the job for the office and the next visit.

✅

Mark Complete From the Truck

Each stop is marked complete in the app, so the office knows where the route stands without calling the driver.

💬

On-the-Way & Completed Texts

Customers get an automated text when the truck is on the way and when the job is done.

🧾

Invoicing

Turn completed route stops into invoices without retyping the job details.

💳

Card on File

Keep a card on file for repeat customers so completed pump-outs get paid without chasing a check.

📊

Reports

Review the work your trucks completed and what it billed, so you can see which routes and days are pulling their weight.

👥

Never Billed per User

Add every driver, helper, and office person. Plans are Start $59, Pro $89, and Crew $199 per month, not a per-seat charge.

See Every Truck's Day Before Anyone Starts an Engine

The dispatch board is where routes turn into a plan. Jobs come off the waiting list, land on a truck, and get ordered on the map. When a backup call comes in, you can see which truck is nearby on GPS and slide the job in.

Recurring Pump-Outs That Come Back Around on Their Own

Residential tanks on a regular pumping cycle, grease traps on a tight schedule, inspection contracts that renew: recurring jobs are the backbone of a steady route. Set them up once and they come back around, ready to be placed on a truck alongside everything else due in that part of the county.

  • Recurring jobs for pump-outs, inspections, and grease traps
  • Upcoming work ready to route by area
  • Job categories keep the mix of work visible
  • Customer and property history in one record
  • Completed-job texts and invoicing after every stop

Septic Route Planning Software — Common Questions

Is SepticBossPro built for septic pumping companies?

Yes. It keeps customer and property records with tank size, lid depth, drain field size, and tank location notes, and it organizes work into Pump-Outs, Inspections, Repairs, Installs, Grease Traps, and Drain Fields. Routing, dispatch, the crew app, texts, and invoicing all work from those records.

How does route planning work?

Scheduled jobs show up on a route map. You assign them to trucks and put the stops in order on the map with drive times in view. The waiting list and the dispatch board hold the jobs that still need a truck and a day.

Does it plan my disposal site trips for me?

No, and we will not pretend it does. What it gives you is the tank size on every stop and the drive times on the map, which is what you need to decide where in the route the dump run belongs.

Can the office see where trucks are?

Yes. Drivers use the crew mobile app, which shares GPS, lets them see job notes, take photos, and mark each stop complete.

Do customers get notified?

Yes. Automated texts go out when the truck is on the way and when the job is completed.

How much does it cost?

Start is $59/month, Pro is $89/month, and Crew is $199/month. You are never billed per user, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
