Everything Haulbase does

This is the whole list. If something isn't on here, Haulbase doesn't do it. Anything without a plan beside it is free.

Your booking page

A page of your own, with your prices on it, that takes orders while you're on a machine.

  • Your own booking page and store

    Your prices, your dates and your agreement, at yourname.haulbase.ca.

  • Seven looks to pick from

    Choose the template that suits your yard, then set the background, buttons, product cards, photo shape and corners. Your own colour runs through all of it.

  • Built from your own website

    Paste your web address and your pages, prices and photos are read and turned into a draft page. You check every line before anything is published, and a price we could not read for certain is left blank rather than guessed.

  • Show prices with tax included

    A switch, if that is how your trade posts prices. It changes what the customer reads, not what you are paid.

  • A QR sign, an embed and an ad line

    A sign for the gate, one line to drop the page into your own website, and a sentence for your Marketplace ad. You get all three with the account.

  • Your own domainGrowth, $147 a month

    Your booking page at your own web address, instead of yourname.haulbase.ca.

  • Your Google rating on your siteGrowth, $147 a month

    Your stars and review count on your booking page, where somebody is deciding.

  • Found by an AI assistant

    Your equipment, dates and delivery prices answer questions asked in Claude, with a link that opens your own order form filled in. Nothing is booked without you saying yes.

Taking a booking

What a customer fills in, what they have to agree to, and what you get asked to confirm.

  • Real dates, and nothing double booked

    The page only offers days the machine is free, and the database itself refuses two rentals that overlap. Not a check that can be raced past.

  • A minimum rental, and a different one for weekends

    Say the fewest days somebody can book, and a longer minimum when the rental includes a Saturday or Sunday. You can still book it shorter yourself.

  • Questions you need answered before the truck moves

    Ask for the gate code, the driveway slope, where exactly it goes, anything. Typed answers or yes and no, set per machine or on everything.

  • Add-ons, charged once or by the day

    Straps once a booking, a broom every day of it. Price two attachments as a set and the set is charged whenever it beats the parts.

  • Your rental agreement, signed on their phone

    Your own wording, or the built-in agreement for your province, filled in with their name, the machine and the dates. They type their name to sign and you both get the copy.

  • Closed days

    Days you are shut, so nobody books a Sunday you never work.

  • Every order waits for you

    A request reaches you before anything is charged. You say yes or no, and they are told either way.

Delivery and pickup

The part most yards quote by phone on every enquiry.

  • A delivery price from their own address

    They type where it's going and the fee works itself out on road distance from your yard, against the zones you set. No guessing, no callback.

  • Priced by the load, not the trip

    Say how much fits on a truck and an order that needs three loads is charged three fees. Twenty five yards of mulch is not one delivery.

  • You always drop this one off

    For a bin, or anything nobody turns up to collect. Customers are asked where to send it instead of being offered pickup, and your delivery price is added as usual.

  • Pickup at the yard

    A yard with no delivery zones shows your address and your open days instead of asking for a delivery address. You can run pickup and delivery side by side from the same page.

  • The days and windows your truck runs

    Say which weekdays you deliver and what time slots you offer, and how many orders fit in each. The page will not book a day you do not run.

  • More than one yard

    Different sites, each with its own address and its own delivery prices.

  • Trucks

    Put an order on a truck and see the day's drops in the order they're due.

Getting paid

Cards through your own Stripe account, and everything you already take, unchanged.

  • Cash and e-transfer keep working

    Nothing forces a card. Mark it paid when they hand it over. A booking paid that way carries no platform fee.

  • Cards go into your own Stripe account

    You connect Stripe yourself and the money lands with you, not with us. Stripe bills you card processing at your own rate, separately from anything here.

  • The platform fee

    A percentage of what a customer pays online through your page, and only when you actually get paid. 10% on Free, 2.5% on Growth, 1% on Unlimited. Never on tax, and never on damage.

  • A damage deposit held, not charged

    A hold on their card. A clean return releases it with one button, and damage takes any amount up to the hold with a note. Card networks drop a hold after about seven days, so a longer rental gets a button to ask for a fresh one.

  • Invoices and pay links

    An invoice due on receipt with a link that takes a card. It reaches them by email, by text, or both.

  • Quotes

    Send a price for a job. They accept it on their phone and it becomes a booking.

  • Weekly or monthly billing on a long rental

    For a machine that stays out. It bills on a cycle until it comes back instead of one total up front.

  • Tax worked out by province

    HST or GST at your province's rate, named properly on the receipt, with your tax number on it.

  • Ring up a walk-in

    Somebody at the counter with no booking. Take the payment and the paperwork there.

When it comes back

The bill nobody wants to work out by hand on a Friday afternoon.

  • Check it back in, in one step

    Everything owed is worked out first and shown to you: what's left of the rental, extra hours or weight, refuelling, damage and the tax. Then it comes off the deposit in ONE charge, or goes out as a bill.

  • Hours, kilometres or tonnes on the meter

    An excavator counts engine hours, a truck counts kilometres, a bin is weighed at the landfill. Say what's included per day, week or month, and the rate beyond it.

  • The allowance follows the price

    Ten days priced as a week and three days includes a week's hours plus three days' worth. What you were paid for is what they get.

  • Weight straight off the scale ticket

    For a bin, you type one number when it comes back: the net weight the scale printed. Nothing is asked when it goes out, because there is nothing to read off an empty bin. Leave the allowance at zero and every tonne is billed, which is how you pass the dump fee through at cost.

  • Refuelling

    It leaves full and comes back full, or you bill the litres at your posted rate.

  • Damage claims

    Photos, a note and an amount, charged against the hold or sent as a bill. Never taxed, and never counted in the platform fee.

  • Inspections in and out

    A checklist with a photo of each thing, stamped with the time, so there is no argument later.

  • Renters check it out themselves

    From their own booking page, with photos, for when you are not there to hand it over.

Talking to customers

The calls you miss and the messages at eight at night.

  • Text messagingGrowth, $147 a month

    A missed call texts them your booking page, so somebody who rang while you were on a machine can book without ringing again.

  • AI receptionistGrowth, $147 a month

    Questions that come in after hours get answered from your own prices and dates.

  • Automatic follow-up and chasingGrowth, $147 a month

    Overdue returns, deposits and reviews get chased without you remembering to.

  • Everything in one thread

    Texts, chats from your page and calls you missed, one thread per person, so nothing is lost between a phone and an inbox.

  • Emails that go out by themselves

    The confirmation, the receipt, the reminder the day before, the signed agreement. Free on every plan.

Running the yard

The dashboard, one destination at a time. Every one of these is free.

  • Today

Your numbers, and getting them out

Straight answers

What it doesn't do

A list that quietly skipped the awkward parts would be worth less than no list. Each of these was checked in the code, not guessed at.

  • No GPS, and no tracking where a bin is

    Haulbase knows a bin is out and when it is due back. It does not know which driveway it is sitting in.

  • No driver app, and no routing

    You can put an order on a truck. There is nothing for the driver to carry, no route worked out for them, and no live status from the road.

  • Nothing reads a scale ticket for you

    You type the weight off the ticket. There is no photographing it.

  • No uptime guarantee

    An outage here does not stop you renting, and your data exports any time. We will not sign a promise we cannot keep about somebody else's servers.
