Skip hire software that works in the yard, not just the office

A skip hire company is both a carrier and a receiving site. The lorry collects a loaded skip from a customer and brings it back to your yard. From October 2026, the receiving side of that job has to be logged digitally with DEFRA within two working days.

That means every skip that comes back to the yard needs a digital waste transfer note. The waste type, the EWC code, the vehicle, the carrier details and the weight. LoadLog handles all of it from a tablet at the gate.

LoadLog runs on a phone or tablet wherever the skip comes in, so the operator logs the load at the point of return rather than taking notes back to the office.

Skip loads repeat all day. Set up templates for the grades you bring back most, such as mixed C&D and soil and stones, and the operator only adds the weight.

The carrier registration check matters here too. Before a load is accepted, LoadLog checks the carrier number against all four UK public registers. No more taking the driver's word for it.

If your returns are already logged somewhere else, whether a weighbridge system or a spreadsheet, you do not have to type them again. Import the rows as a CSV, check the preview, and the skips arrive as drafts ready to review and submit in one batch. The column mapping is remembered, so the next export is a two-minute job.
