Truck #2
So its been alittle while since i posted around these parts. Just picked up my 2nd truck. Its a New 2012 (left over) Mack Granite. 505hp, 18speed, 20k front, 20k lift and 46k rears on camelback. Double frame. Full Lockers. It has a 4,700 gallon pik rite tank. I been looking for a 2nd truck for a while. Wasn't really any good ones on the used market. I did find some decent ones. But when i called they were tractor conversions. So i pulled the tigger on this one. For wondering minds I got a good price. 163,000. Then a extra 2,500 to paint fenders and change the valves and bumper out, on the back of the tank. That same truck in a 2015 would go for 188,000. Got a decent rate on loan. 6.25% with 50k down, payment of 2211.00 for 60 months. Business has been good. I plan on keeping both trucks. Just put a clutch in the 2002 Mack. Have a meeting this week with a operations manager of a big company. Hoping i can get some work from him hauling sludge from treatment plants. My lettering guy is on Vacation for another week. So the truck wont be lettered for about 2 weeks.

Every State is Different as far as permits go. I need a State Permit from PA. then i need permits from the county's i pump in. Then you need permits for the treatment plant were you dump. It can be a pain in the ass at times. But once you get all the permits filed. You just have to renew every year and pay the fees. |
Biggest problem is getting the work. Not like there are load boards for vacuum trucks lol Then some customers love to take 60-90days to pay. I just got paid 12,000 for a hauling job i did 10 months ago.

I have a hard enough time just cleaning my own drains....

This was a good job. A Froce main broke leaving a pump station on a sunday. Had to shut the pumps down and truck the water to he treatment plant. 12 trucks there and we could barley keep up with it.

Snow on the ground lid is 2ft below grade and you have to dig it up when its 30 outside. http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps284bd834.jpg Dumping a load at the plant http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/t...pse9261673.jpg |
the ones I think of are the septic tank pumping. I grew up in the country and about every 4 years, I can remember my parents having it pumped out.
