Waste and recycling
The pre-trip is done at the truck, before the route, not at the end of the shift.
PortalBase puts the pre-trip, the route issue report, the safety talk and the incident form on the driver's phone. They work in alleys, on the tipping floor and at the working face. Everything saves on the phone and syncs when signal comes back.

What a waste and recycling crew opens first.
Today’s tasks, the training that’s due, the checks and the forms. The tiles and the work are set up for Bramblewick Disposal and Recycling, a made-up company. Yours would be set up for your crews.

What gets checked
The trucks, the lines and the floor somebody has to keep safe
Truck pre-trips. Brakes, lights, hopper, cameras, hydraulics. The driver marks each step Pass, Concern or Fail with a photo or video. A Fail opens a corrective action with an owner.
Read more →Roll-off and container checks. Scan the QR tag on a container and the right checklist opens. Each container is an asset with its own history of checks and repairs.
Read more →MRF line and tipping floor walks. Guards, e-stops, sort line, loaders. The supervisor walks it, marks each step, and signs. Lockout steps get their own checklist.
Read more →Landfill and heavy equipment checks. Compactors, dozers, water trucks. The operator checks before the first pass and the shop sees every Concern.

What your drivers and supervisors fill out today
01
Pre-trip and post-trip. One form per truck type. Defects carry a photo and a note, and the shop sees them before the next shift.
02
Route issue report. Blocked access, a damaged cart, a hazard at a stop. Snap a photo and file it from the cab. Each one is an assignment with an owner and a due date.
03
Safety talk. Pick the topic, record who was there, get signatures on a phone. Weekly talks assign themselves to every supervisor.
04
Incident and near miss report. A backing close call, a pinch point, a fire in the hopper. Anyone files it from the phone, with photos and who was involved.
Signal and crew
The route doesn't care about your coverage. Half your helpers don't have a work email.
On the route
Back alleys, rural stops, a pit at the landfill, a concrete-walled transfer building. The forms, courses and checklists are already on the phone. Photos and video upload later, in the background.
On the crew
Drivers, helpers, sorters, scale house, seasonal hires. Sign them in by text code, by employee ID and PIN, or by QR badge on a shared tablet at the shop. Each record carries the person who did the work, not the device.
At the shop
Mechanics see which trucks have open Concerns before the keys go out. The dispatcher sees who completed the pre-trip.
A day on one route
From the yard to the tipping floor
Step 1
Before the route.
The driver opens Today. The pre-trip and the safety talk are due before the truck leaves the yard.
Step 2
On the route.
Blocked stops and damaged carts go in as route issues, with a photo, from the cab.
Step 3
At the transfer station or MRF.
Floor walk and line check by the supervisor. Fails open a corrective action and notify the manager.
Step 4
In the office.
The safety lead sees which routes and shifts filled out their paperwork and which didn't, then opens any record behind the number.
Straight answers
- Can helpers and seasonal hires use it without a company email?
- Yes. Crews without email sign in by text code, by employee ID and PIN, or by QR badge on a shared device. The company picks which.
- Does it replace hands-on training on a truck or a loader?
- No. Courses and skill checks record what was taught and shown. Where the work needs a trainer in the cab or on the machine, that still happens in person.
- Does it make a route or a facility compliant?
- No. It records and organizes the evidence: who, when, where, what was checked. Your rules and the rules of the bodies that apply to you still decide what compliant means.
