You have no way of knowing that. The one I know clears over 150,000k a year and gets to write off a lot of his regular living expenses, like most contractors, so he pays fewer taxes. (wife and kids drive a company car etc) So, the guy who pumps poop, gets paid more than a dr, dr, dr that only spews poop, by about 40 grand a year? As a full-blown psychotic, you have need of both services. BTW, I don't for a minute believe a guy who pumps out septic tanks is netting over $150,000 a year, unless he has a huge corporation with a lot of workers. The average pump out around here is $200 and the process takes at least an hour and a half, with lots of down time and travel time to customer sites and to dump what is in the truck. I can see a hard working self employed guy grossing $2000 a week for part of the year, working very hard, and netting, oh, at least three times what you net, PsychoSnotty. How's the post hole digging going? |

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 $$ |

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... |

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. |
