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...

Oh, so you think a truck full of **** should be able to be dumped
anywhere at anytime?? Figures.

Do not know about your region, but here the truck driver pulls in, states
the county and city the waste came from and then dumps the **** in to the
treatment plant receptor. My buddy who is retired IBM owned a porta potty
company in years ago. I moved and sold my half. He made enough money to
send his kids to university. One to Cal Poly. Sure there was some cash
payments for a weekend part rental, but most were monthly rentals to
contractors.
