Youll also meet Yvonne Hoover, owner of Suburban Septic & Excavat-

pumping in the 1950s. Along the way, the company added portable sanita-

Truck Corner tips

A few months ago, we launched a trucking advice column, Truck Cor-
ner, that was a staple for years in our sister publication, Portable Restroom
Operator. For more than a decade, truck builder Robert Bob Carlson
shared his tips and tricks for building more reliable and efficient vacuum
trucks for portable restroom operators. Sadly, that column ended when our
friend Bob died a few years ago. We still miss his sense of humor and his
singing (yes, Bob was a recording artist who sang novelty tunes under the
name The Pumper Gang), and weve decided we need a way to answer truck-
ing questions that pumpers are asking.

D
uring the summer and early fall, Bill Leppala appreci-
ates the beauty of the lakes, rivers, woods and land-
scapes in Michigans Upper Peninsula where he pumps
tanks and services restrooms. But for about seven months
each year, he faces natures other side 200 inches of snow
and a slow thaw that forces up to 90 days of road restrictions.
His territory is on the western edge of the UP and north-
ern Wisconsin. Despite the challenges in this sparsely popu-
lated and economically challenged area, Leppala takes pride
that he provides services year-round in the region around
Ironwood, Michigan, and Hurley, Wisconsin. And though it
can be an uncertain way to make a living, owning Tula Toilet
and Septic offers an opportunity to work independently. More
importantly, he can work out of his home and spend more
time with his wife and daughter.
TRUCKING TO PUMPING
Leppala has made a living in Upper Michigan in a variety
of ways. He had been an over-the-road trucker for seven years
when he decided to buy a pumping/portable restroom busi-

Texas
Bastrop County, located southeast of Austin, held a public hearing on
updates to its onsite wastewater rules. Among other changes, the rule will
allow homeowners with a wastewater license to service and maintain their
septic systems. The changes will update the county rules to conform with
changes in state regulations.
Another change would require each dwelling to have a septic tank of
at least 750 gallons. Philip Merino, the countys environmental and sani-

100 to 400 square feet would be handled individually, but owners would

Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with him. The County had a septic ordi-
nance that plainly described the process for the placement of septic in-
stallers on a register and (not so plainly) described the process for their
removal, Judge David Hamilton wrote in the panels ruling.
None of the statements in Simpsons complaint show the county had
an urgent need to revoke his license without a hearing, Hamilton wrote.
Ontario, Canada
Pumpers in Bracebridge, located about 100 miles north of Toronto,
told a government committee that the areas high dumping fees are killing
their local businesses.
Everybodys in trouble, and all of them are hard-working families,
said Ken Jones of K & K Sanitation. According to the Bracebridge Examiner,
Jones told the councilors for the District Municipality of Muskoka, One
company just went out of business. There could be more.
Heather Becker, co-owner of B & B Sanitation, said the districts fees
for dumping septage are the highest in Ontario: $213 per 1,000 gallons.
Other municipalities charge $25 to $60, she said.
Jones said pumpers from outside the area can now drive in, service cli-
ents, and haul septage to municipalities where they pay much lower fees.

also states that the value of longtime employees cannot be underestimated.
Looking ahead, Yvonne doesnt see dramatic changes, just continued

would require us to branch out more geographically, where wed run into

youre an Olympic sprinter and your morning routine is like the warmup for
a race. Dont dawdle and dont ease your way into your morning. Rise, get
cleaned up, get fueled, and start rolling. My elapsed time from bed to desk is
about 15 minutes (which is easy since my commute is two flights of stairs),
so theres not much I can improve. So, I do something else; I get my most
important task done before I check email.
8. Outsource the right tasks

I was raised to think that any job I could do myself was a job I should do
myself. Thats why it took me a long time to decide if the kid down the street
should cut my grass. He can use the money. I can use the time. But thats
a simple example. Heres an even better approach: Write down the two or
three things you do that generate the most tangible return. Maybe its selling.
Maybe its developing your employees. Maybe its building long-term cus-
tomer relationships. Then strip away all the other stuff by outsourcing those
tasks. (Or, oftentimes, simply by eliminating those tasks.)
9. Fix what you often break

I used to be terrible about putting meetings and phone calls on my cal-
endar. I figured Id get to it later, and then I never did. Then I spent way too
much time often in a panic trying to figure out when, where and who.
All that was wasted time. So, I finally decided I would immediately enter ev-
ery appointment into my calendar the moment I made it no matter what.
You probably have at least one thing you tend to mess up. Fix those things to
save time and aggravation.
10. Dont multitask

Plenty of research says multitasking doesnt work. Some research says
multitasking actually makes you stupid. I feel sure there is at least one thing
you do that is so important you should never allow a distraction or a loss of
focus. Choose one important task and commit to turning away everything
else when you tackle it. Focus solely on that task. See if you do it better. I bet
you will.

toilets are. I like being able to see them all on a map. A lot of the equipment
and machinery is seriously outdated and needs renovation, so Im trying to
upgrade. I would rather not incur debt, however.
Pumper: How have you updated technology?

Leister: One of the first things I did was establish a Google business
page. Everything is tied into digital for me. The reason I chose the name Sa-
lina is because of the organic search reach in our area: were going to come
up first. I have a plan that will probably begin taking place this fall. I want
to hold events to increase brand awareness, like a 5K run this fall to benefit
breast cancer awareness. I would use social media to publicize that.
For what we do, social media is not the best form of advertising, how-
ever. The best form, in my opinion, is being there when someone needs you
being accessible. I would like to share photos, videos, events, etc. on so-
cial media rather than advertising.
Pumper: What are your long-term goals for the company?

Leister: Im focused on homeowner education. Not enough people
know proper maintenance and care. People dont always realize that their
septic tank was backing up because they didnt have it pumped out. I would
like to have problem/solution pages on our website. I also want to have a
page dedicated to how we clean our units and what customers can expect.
Customers need to know the financial reasons for regular maintenance. I
dont want it to appear that Im just trying to get their money. Its important
that customers know what to expect from our company.
I would really like, and this is very subjective, to build a brand or a busi-
ness that I dont have to be at every day. My ultimate goal is to build some-
thing so that it lasts after Im gone or so that it can run itself.
Pumper: Youre a young face in the industry; what do you feel vet-
eran owners need to know?
Leister: The world is digital now, whether they like it or not. One of the
first things I did was cancel my Yellow Pages ads. The next thing I did was get
listed on Google to make sure people could find us.
I dont plan on ever retiring, but Im young enough that I can think 30,
40, 50 years into the future. I dont have to make a quick dollar today; Im
interested in whats going to happen down the road. That same mentality is
not common in older people and that was kind of my sales pitch to let them
give me more responsibility. Let me do what I do, and see how it plays out
in the long term.
One thing I definitely do not have is the years of experience. I dont
know how to do everything, but Ive got the time to learn. A different experi-
ence comes up every day, so I learn something every day.
Pumper: What have you noticed about the industry good and bad?
Leister: There is a stigma to the industry. Id like other people to see
what we do as a valuable service, even when they dont need it. I want to
build a positive local reputation looking professional, having clean trucks
and educating customers thats one of my biggest pushes.

are in development and being testing. The greatest problem with electric

FLEET QUESTIONS
How does this apply to our example company? Reviewing the data pro-
vided shows some alternative power plant options.
The vacuum trucks and the pickups are best served by diesel. All run
in the higher mileage/hour range and need the power of the diesel to work
most effectively. Natural gas would work for these applications, but the ac-
quisition cost and fueling issues detract from that option. Propane is an op-
tion for the pickups and the Class 7 vacuum trucks, but the mileage might
lead to an increase in fuel costs.
Using the parameters outlined, the F-750s and the portable sanita-
tion trucks could use either gasoline or propane power for alternative fuel
sources. Both fuels are easy to handle, readily available and provide good

acquisition cost, maintenance and fuel cost savings. Propane would offer
the ability to market a green truck. Company management would need to
further study a potential choice.
This article is not designed to give you clear answers, but to offer a
www.SepticOnline.com guideline to frame your truck power plant options. In a future article, I will
discuss the missing alternative fuel: biodiesel.

STATES SNAPSHOT
Would You Accept Eggs, Chickens

and a Hog for Payment?
Iowas Rob Brown has some interesting stories
to tell about his customers, his favorite equipment,
and his hopes for a more professional industry
In States Snapshot, we visit with a member of a state, provincial or

national trade association in the decentralized wastewater industry.
This time, we learn about a member of the Iowa Onsite Waste Water
Association.
Name: Rob Brown

Business: Brown Concrete & Backhoe Inc.
Location: Ely, Iowa
Age: 49
Years in the industry: 25
Association involvement: Member for more than 20 years
Benefits of belonging to the association: This association allows me

to keep up to date on new products as well as any new technology. It is also
helpful to stay current on any rule changes and stay on top of what direc-
tion the industry is moving. It also allows me the opportunity to discuss any
questions or concerns with other contractors, engineers, the Department of in managing the various projects we take on. Rob Brown, owner of Brown

Brooke Ralston and Caterpillar 316EL. I find these machines to be very impressive. They do
all you ask of them, and I am continually surprised at their capability.

The craziest question Ive been asked by a customer: I had a custom-
er call me after finding a worm in his toilet. He stated he had been to visit
his doctor and had extensive testing done only to find out that he does not
have worms. He was concerned that a worm had possibly come up through
his septic and ended up in his toilet.
If I could change one industry regulation, it would be: I would like to

see the state of Iowa require all septic system installers be certified.
Best piece of small business advice Ive heard: To treat people the way
you would like to be treated, and to be an honest, fair, and decent person.
This was advice given to me by my dad.
If I wasnt working in the wastewater industry, I would: Spend a lot

more time with my wife and kids, use my fishing boat that I have not been
able to use in 10 years, hunt more often than I do, and continue to do some
of my farming (except in daylight rather than in the dark).
This is my outlook for the wastewater industry: I believe there will be

a very big upswing in the industry with all of the cider mills, wineries, distill-
ers, bars, convenience stores, and other new businesses in rural areas. This
may create some onsite system challenges.

What is Bio-Tab?
Bio-Tab is a highly concentrated tablet of bacteria (both aerobic and
anaerobic) and enzymes that acts as a biological activator for septic tanks.
In short, Bio-Tab helps septic systems work like they were intended.
Unlike most competitors dusty powders or messy liquids, Bio-Tab is in a

tablet form. Easy to use and easy to store, Bio-Tab is highly concentrated
(one jar contains a years supply). It is a safe, non-toxic, non-corrosive and
non-poisonous product that will not harm plumbing or septic systems.

Code & Non-Code VERTICAL PUMP FIT

FOR DEWATERING
APPLICATIONS
Its no secret that disposal costs contin-
ue to increase. That has left many pumpers
looking for alternatives, including install-
ing large underground holding tanks and
treating their own wastewater. Moving that
wastewater around takes heavy-duty equip-
ment, and the Patz Corporation 3333 Multi-Use Vertical Pump, distributed by
ScreenCo Systems, is made especially for those raw sewage moving applications.
If a pumper isnt going straight to a sewage offload facility, they are typically putting
that wastewater in a receiving pit or underground tank for later transport or treatment,
says Paul Kratz, territory OEM sales manager for Patz Corporation. This pump can very
quickly take the fluid out of the pit or tank and transfer it back to a truck or screening

The unit was originally developed for use in the dairy industry, but Scott Meyer, the
owner of ScreenCo Systems, saw an obvious use in the septic field. Meyer originally

A choice of electric motors (3, 5, 7 or 10 hp) and pulleys is available to match
output requirements. The tapered-bore drive pulley mounts to a 1 1/8-inch drive shaft
with a greaseable flange bearing at the top of the drive tube. A lip seal below this bear-
ing keeps contaminants out of the drive tube. An attaching eye, located on top of the

The septic field is a new fit for us, and were excited to explore it, says Kratz.
With so many pumpers storing and treating their own wastewater now, we think its a
great fit. 208/790-8770; www.screencosystems.com.
