This guy is a contractor, actually pumping tanks is a fraction of his
business but it does generate a lot of service work where the money
really is.

Oh, I thought we were discussing a guy who made $150,000 a year pumping
out sewage from residential septic tanks and replacing the occasional
valve. Obviously, we are not.

I did say septic contractor. He started with a single pumper truck but
he expanded his license to include construction and repair of those
systems. It is still a fairly small company and he subs out a lot of
the work but it is a pretty high profit business.

My buddy who has two trucks makes a LOT of $$

If you are a small enough operator not to attract too much attention,
a lot of that money is just "cash" ;-)

Not so much around here anymore... every drop is monitored, weighed and
accounted for, for the DEP...and of course, the tax man. Ended about 15
years ago really when Al Gore and Billary were selling the nation on
Global Taxing...
