PumpDocket is septic-first operations software for pumping, grease trap, and portable restroom work, with published monthly tiers and 50-state trip ticket profiles. Hauler Hero is cloud waste-management software for residential, commercial, roll-off, and septic haulers in one system.
If your company is mostly pump-outs, the question is whether you need septic compliance depth or a mixed-hauling platform. Hauler Hero does not publish a rate card; public estimates suggest about $375 per active truck. PumpDocket lists $99 / $230 / $454 monthly tiers. Trial and contract terms for Hauler Hero are not published here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hauler Hero $375 per truck?
That figure is an estimate from public signals, not a published Hauler Hero price list. The vendor is quote-based and asks you to contact them for a demo and pricing. PumpDocket's $99 / $230 / $454 tiers are published.
Can Hauler Hero replace a septic-specific tool?
It can if your pain is mixed-hauling ops (routing, billing, portal) and basic manifests are enough. If county trip tickets, enhanced state layouts, or tank-centric closeout are the bottleneck, a septic-first product is the better starting point.
Does PumpDocket do roll-off and trash routes?
PumpDocket is positioned for septic pumping, grease trap cleaning, and portable restrooms—not as a full residential/commercial/roll-off hauling suite. Hauler Hero's positioning covers those mixed waste lines.
