Hey just curious if anyone on here hauls septic waste? I have done a ton of research and Google says that a gallon of septic waste is the same as a gallon of water (8.34 lbs). I truly find this hard to believe. Does anyone have real world numbers from crossing scales with a tanker or septic truck? Thanks.

That weight is okay for liquid , sludge and build-up are little heavier ( paper , cooking oil , etc ) . If its bobtail tanker not a big issue , but the stuff you get from a sewage plant is ususally a mass of sludge with a heavier weight.

Wasn't a bad gig , worst part was the smell and clogs, but had bennys and not that hard. Easy to learn and do and not many people screwed with you. ( wonder why ??

Never out of a septic tank, hauled plenty of waste water In tanks and sludge in dump trailers though, absolutely sucks, especially in the winter
