Septic Hauling!!!!

Just wondering if Septic Hauling would fall into the waste forum? Well I know alot of people might not have been involved in hauling septic and port o pot waste but that is where I kinda got started. Got my CDL A in 2008, went to drive for Star Transport and didn't like being OTR so much along with the fact we started to loose some of our CAT loads so I quit and come home. Local septic business was looking for a tanker driver and thats where I came into the picture. I would drive to the job sights and pump out a septic tank or grease trap and then haul the waste in a tanker to the city to dump at the waste station. Not a glorified trucking job by anymeans but a decent place to start. I drove a straight truck with a tank on it and also a semi pulling a tanker. I had to put the semi with tanker in small driveways at times when someone's basement was flooded with sewage. Just thought I would see if anyone else on here has been a cheet guy or gal before?

 

I will agree that it is a job for a strong stomach.... I have worked for the guy on and off for years. There are the route drivers that set up, clean and pickup the pots. They then either put the waste into the tanker or they will put it into honey wagons that are for storage to buy some time till we can transfer the waste over to the tanker. Then they have 2 sucker trucks that mainly go to jobsites and pump out septic tanks. They both are only 3,000 gallon trucks. We pump the local Nucor Steel plant and have done small town sewer plants. Everything gets hauled 40 minutes to Indianapolis. I have seen alot of **it in my day. Lmao. Did what I had to do so I could buy my first big rig.
