Alittle update. So far i pumped 30 people. 2 are business that i go to every 7-10 days.

I grossed 11,800.00 since Aug 1st.

Got my dumping bill for the month of Aug. $399.00 bucks. That was for 17,500 gallons of septage (0.018 a gallon) and 7,000 gallons of holding tank. (0.012 a gallon)


Not to bad for a part time gig.

thanks sidman. So far i been doing alright. The hardest thing is getting new customers. If i had the customer base 3,000+ i could really be rolling in the money. But it all takes time.

The first mistake I made as an owner operator was buying a second truck. It is very difficult to drive one and manage both. The biggest obstacle is finding qualified drivers.
