    I guess it's now a fleet of 5-7 trucks.

    If i were to haul water it would have to be for Splash! Trucking. They have the best trailers with the bikini girls painted on the back

    Probably get to see some good scenery too when you fill up some pools.

    I wasn't around but from what I was told they tried it some years ago and it didnt go very well. Came down to lose drivers or lose the account.

    Never did potable water ....

    But swimming pools aren't bad.. Trick is you have to get treated water (city water ) throw it in a pool and it looks great . Some water depts sell it . 2 towns over from me they still let you load out of a hydrant. It was like less then $20 back when I did it.....

    Used to get $250 and up a load 6000 gals .$250 would be in the same town 10 miles out from loading point max....

    Do 3-4 loads in a day over a grand maybe 150 miles total for the day....


    Where you live the minimum loads probably $500

    $300-350 to start cording to the guy with the clapped out Columbia I spoke with past year. Said he goes to Waterbury to load (like 35 miles) but I know there's a place in the next town (maybe 6 miles...) friend of mine told me at church today that for commercial use its like $0.05-0.08 a gallon.(he gets it for free for the volunteer fire department, don't have a pool tho) ..which is more than the other fella was getting when he delivered it..

    I'm not super interested in it; means a lot more sales calls to consumers and trying to ram 265" plus a trailer up into people's driveways or dragging hundreds of feet of hose...... #### that: I don't barely tarp open deck loads cuz that's too much physical work.


    Do you have to get your tank tested annually to haul pool water? Being that people gonna be swimming all in it id think it's gotta be clean water n can't run it thru a dirty tank to deliver...seems like a lot of them leak like a mother####er tho: every hill they're followed by lots running out the back.

    No tank tests required... that's the beauty of it....

    Most put water for pools on the side....
