Oh, life in the honey wagon- NEVER AGAIN!
It’s bad doing septic, horrible doing grease traps, and the worst part of the day is backin’ her into the facility, and throwin that valve on the back of the truck to empty her out.

LESSON 1. Check wind direction.
LESSON 2. If you have a helper, let him do it.
LESSON 3. ALWAYS ROLL UP THE WINDOWS BEFORE BRINGING UP THE IDLE AT DISCHARGE AREA!
LESSON 4. Make sure helper knows what he’s doing, and hop into truck to"finish paperwork”

So for those wondering what a ‘Vactor’ truck is??? It’s a “hydro-jetting machine”. Basically it’s a “pressure washer on steroids” coupled with a large vacumn cleaner. Makes sewer work a little easier. Course what that tank truck carries… I wouldn’t want to be around if it spills out. 

Ah, Key… that’s just a little baby!!

Ahhh yes it’s not worthy(lol)… I couldn’t down load a pic (with the boom extended in use) but I did find a good pic on a PDF file.

Then again...considering… what you guys have(mobile sludge presses tug boat style dredgers) etc......everything is “not worthy”.

As far as pumps go… yeah I think this one is somewhat impressive(can’t remember where I saw it..lol)

(Beer Bottle ‘inserted’ for scale reference):

Okay… Is this a little better?? lol

‘wastewater’ is such a “colorfull world”

I’ve used this stuff regularly in my drains and have had zero issues.

M-Z...??

What’s one of those (25lb ???) tubs go for $$$ wise BTW??

What’s the active ingredient?? Is it similiar to using baking soda and vinegar on a smaller scale (i.e. like the kitchen sink)???

“Can I get an AMEN to that brother”...lol

...The ‘honey wagon’ That is one term that could never have been ‘coined’ better in the business.

Working for ‘rooter’...Did you guys have any of the small ‘trailer rig honey wagons’ for grease trap work by any chance???

Keyman-
Yea they had a portable jetter mounted on the back of a pickup. Did not pump out, and to this day still don’t. I was not a franchisee- owning a territory, I was an independent, Owned the truck and everything in it, working on a percentage. I didn’t particularly fit in with the “program”, so when jet jobs came into the office I was skipped for one of the “favorites”. Then they stopped in house dispatch, went to central dispatch out of the Baltimore Md. and things evened out. I just can’t rob people- and with their prices and their policies, that is what it is.
