Before AI photo quoting, every junk removal estimate required a site visit — 40 minutes of driving to look at a pile of stuff you could have quoted from a picture. IQ-Dash lets your customer send photos, and you get a priced estimate in under 30 seconds. You close more jobs without leaving the truck.
They snap photos from any phone and submit through your branded page. You see every angle before committing to a price — no guessing what is off-screen.
Furniture, appliances, construction debris, hazardous flags — the AI catalogs the load so nothing surprises you on arrival and no item gets missed in the quote.
AI calculates truck load percentage so you know immediately whether it is a half-load or a full haul. Price accordingly before you ever schedule the job.
Your county landfill rate is factored into the quote before it goes out. You stop losing money on disposal costs you forgot to include in the price.
The AI pre-fills the quote with a suggested price range. You glance, adjust if needed, and hit send — from the job site, the truck, or your couch.
They receive a branded quote page with photos, itemized price, and a one-tap confirm button. No phone tag, no back-and-forth — you only drive to jobs that are already confirmed.
“I used to drive 40 minutes each way to give a quote, then 40 minutes back if the customer wanted to think about it. Half those site visits turned into nothing. Now I send a photo quote link before I even consider scheduling, and my close rate went up because I only drive to confirmed jobs.”

AI photo quotes generate a price range, not a fixed number. The range accounts for item identification, estimated volume in cubic yards, local dump fees, and drive distance. Most haulers find the AI estimate is within 10–15% of what they would have quoted manually — and it takes 30 seconds instead of a 40-minute drive.
IQ-Dash flags low-confidence photos and prompts the customer to upload a clearer image. The AI will not generate a quote from an unreadable photo. This protects you from bad estimates and gives customers a clear action to take.
Yes. AI photo quoting is a tool, not a mandate. Some haulers use it for 100% of their quotes; others use it as a pre-screening step for large jobs. You control when and how you apply it.
Faster quotes mean faster decisions. When a customer gets a priced response in under 30 seconds instead of waiting for a callback, they are less likely to shop competitors. Haulers using IQ-Dash report confirming more jobs because customers receive a professional quote before the conversation goes cold.
