My system is all on one skid.It has 2) 30 gallon tanks for fresh oil and 1) 60 gallon tank for used oil.I can use suction and pull the waste oil through the dipstick tube.I buy my fresh oil in 55 gallon drums through a supplier.My used oil and filters are recycled.I have a company that picks up my used oil and pays me $.75 a gallon for it.I use a jack when needed.I am tall and skinny so I usually can get under the car without any problem.It is a great business.:lol::lol::lol:

What two types of oil do you carry? I would've thought you'd need more than two. It does sound like an interesting business.

Starting a small fleet trucking business can be an exciting venture with great potential for growth. It's important to begin with a solid business plan, ensuring you have the right trucks, licenses, and insurance. Managing operational costs, finding reliable drivers, and securing steady contracts will be key to building a successful fleet. Focus on strong customer service and efficient logistics to stay competitive. Starting small allows you to scale over time, so keep your long-term goals in mind as you grow your business step by step.
