End for every truck at the dump (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tipper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'truck at the dump' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'end for every' is the wordplay.
'end' becomes 'tip' (tip is a kind of end).
'for every' becomes 'per' ('per' means 'for each' or 'for every').
'tip'+'per'='TIPPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tipper that I've seen before include "Giver of gratuity" , "Person who gives gratuity" , "One giving gratuities - truck" , "Dumping truck - one paying gratuity" , "One who thankfully pays extra" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
