Youre Fired!
Look For these Five signs its time to wave goodbYe to a customer
whos dragging down Your business
by Jim kneiszel
September 2014
Ive come up with five signs that it might be time to dump a customer.
Look for these symptoms of a counterproductive business relationship:
Theyre noT lisTening To your professional advice
A special-event customer orders 10 units every year and wants you to
line them up on the same corner. As the event grows in popularity, you see
the restrooms become overused. For several years, you recommended placing more units and spreading them out to reach other high-traffic locations.
Your advice falls on deaf ears, and every year you hear complaints about
your restrooms from attendees who think you are providing poor service.
You make a little bit of money, but your reputation takes a big hit. Its time
to flush the customer.
They arenT paying
ABC Construction Co. calls occasionally for a restroom at a residential
build. They want it on site today and keep it for a few months. Then they ignore your billing cycle and you have to call them for three months to remind
them to pay. You might even occasionally have to pull a unit from a work site
to drive home the point that they must pay their bills. They eventually pay,
but its a constant cash-flow annoyance. Cut them off.
uniTs are losT or abused
You land a big commercial construction account for the new medical
clinic in your town. The customer orders a half-dozen restrooms that need
servicing twice a week. Your driver reports back to you every week over the
past month that a unit is tipped over or vandalized, requiring replacement.
Unfortunately, you didnt have the customer sign a damage waiver mandating extra payment for units with drill holes in them. The extra cleaning and
repairs eat away at your profits and the customer refuses to pay more. Send
them packing.

Once youve mastered three minutes of mindfulness, practice at other
times. The 20 seconds at a stoplight can be a mini session. Just concentrate
on your breath till the light changes. You may also want to extend your
mindfulness sessions to five minutes or even longer on the weekends. And
after practicing for a month or two, take note of your work productivity and
stress levels.
When you practice mindfulness, you may be alone with your thoughts,
but youll be joining a long line of self-aware humans, from ancient Buddhists to todays Google employees, who are encouraged to take a free

Serving the U.S. debut of TomorrowWorld music

sanitation infrastructure in a Georgia farm field to
serve thousands By BETTy DAgEfORDE
THE TEAM
Mark Slade operates Comfort Zone Portables out of a 5-acre facility
in Alpharetta, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta. But his service territory extends
along the Atlantic seaboard as he focuses on specialty products and very
large events. He keeps unmanned
equipment yards he calls them

was supplemented with 30 temporaries for the TomorrowWorld event.
COMPANY HISTORY
Slade grew up in a family business involved in trash collection,
recycling and landfills. Eventually he turned his attention to the liquid
waste industry. In my opinion that business had more of a demand, he
says. It was a dirty job, no one wanted to do it, but I knew it was something
that was very needed.

AMERICAN DEBUT
Using
his
engineering
background, Van Overbeek created
the Pop Up3, a modular, collapsible
portable restroom cabin around
a flushable toilet, incorporating
into a vacuum system similar to
bathrooms on commercial airliners.
Using less than one pint of water, a
push of a button flushes the toilet.
The waste is conveyed through a
macerator pump from Jets Sanitary
Systems and into a sewer or holding
tank. The vacuum also removes the
air inside the unit, thus eliminating
odors. Units were designed with
transportation in mind, Slade says.

THE JOB
An enormous amount of infrastructure was required to turn the 500acre site into a small city. Slade was involved from the start, working for over
a year on planning. We were in it from the beginning doing the design,
layout, permits, water, sewer everything, he says.
He partnered with MTD International, a company specializing in
plumbing for temporary installations. Beginning the end of August 2013
Slade estimates they ran at least a mile of
pipe for fresh-, gray- and blackwater, tapping

trucks, went out
to the property. They used reels of flexible
polyethylene pipe (2-inch blue for freshwater,
and bought brand3-inch black for gray- and blackwater) as well
new equipment
as PVC pipe. Pumps were used to transfer waste
and came out on
from PVC to flexible piping. Although the event
will return to the farm this year everything had

tanks were placed on the property one
to collect wastewater at the crew campground and two for the portable
restroom vacuum trucks to transfer their waste into.
In addition to providing portable restrooms, the company brought in
and plumbed urinals, hand-wash stations, showers, restroom trailers and
the Pop Up3s.
BY THE NUMBERS
The company provided 700 Integras and 47 ADA-compliant
Senators from PolyPortables, 160 Pop Up3s, 100 Ureos, 75 Refresh units,
100 PolyPortables hand-wash stations, 300 shower heads, six 20-by-8
containerized seven-head showers, nine Ameri-Can Engineering shower
trailers and 25 executive restroom trailers (primarily Ameri-Can, JAG Mobile
Solutions and AMS Global).
Comfort Zone Oasis is the companys name for a full-service showerrestroom pod. Three were set up in DreamVille, each with 100 propaneheated shower heads (with privacy curtains) inside of a tent, 60 Integras,
two Senators, six Ureos and eight potable water-dispensing Refresh units for
washing up, brushing teeth and filling water bottles.
Before the weekend was out, he too was jumping around. Thats kind
of how you start walking you jump. Youre just bouncing around getting
things done. He had good reason for the happy mood, as all the hard work
paid off, everything went smoothly, and hes looking forward to a repeat
performance this year.

We Have It
One-stop shoppers come to Wisconsins
Stoughton Lumber for everything from plywood
and rental power equipment to party tents and
portable restrooms By Betty Dageforde
24
September 2014
The owner asked me what I thought, Meyer says. I told him, Were
delivering tents and there are other peoples units in there. We should
be able to capitalize on that.
The decision was made and they wasted no time. Meyer got back
from the show on a Monday and turned right around and headed out
to the Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo International (now the
Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport Show) that
Thursday. I went through all the classes, figured out how it all worked,
came back, got our license and purchased the equipment we needed
along with some portable restrooms. They might have moved a little
too fast, he admits. We didnt really have great insight into the business. It was like reinventing the wheel, unfortunately. We learned the
hard way.
But they quickly figured it out and soon grew their original inventory of 26 Five Peaks Aspens to 200 units (all with hand sanitizer) orange for construction, gray for events, green for their deluxe flushable
units along with a few ADA-compliant units and hand-wash stations,

all from Five Peaks. They picked up a 300-gallon waste/150-gallon freshwater aluminum vacuum tank with a Jurop pump from Imperial Industries Inc.
The slide-in unit can be used with any of their vehicles and currently is on
a 2006 International. For deliveries they use their lumber flatbed trucks and
even semis with flatbeds. Their service territory is about a 50-mile radius
around Stoughton.

With a fleet of vacuum trucks and service vehicles, Pros can save significant exPense by Performing
their oWn engine diagnostics. but What tyPe of scanning equiPment should a small garage buy?
by Peter kenter
30
September 2014
That problem is solving itself as older vehicles drop out of service, says
St. John. Vehicles made after 2008 use a common OBD-II standard known
as CANbus, which was introduced in 2003. You can find out what protocol
your vehicle uses by checking for a label under the hood.
St. John notes that as a general rule, low-cost universal readers have the
most compatibility issues.
Theyre designed to work on the most common models and dont offer
the programming to cover all of the protocols from all vehicle manufacturers, he says. From my experience, about 98 percent of low-cost readers we
sell work fine.
PRICE GAP NARROWS
However, St. John notes that the price gap between the top-end and
low-end scanner has narrowed so significantly that higher-end scanners
may sell for only a few dollars more than their lowend counterparts.
As the technology becomes readily available,
basic OBD scanners can cost less than $20 and
run up past $200, and are available through many
sources and chain automotive equipment retailers. St. Johns best scanner retails for less than $40.
High-end units using manufacturers proprietary
software can cost quite a bit more.
St. John doesnt deal in top-level garage scanners, which may cost thousands of dollars.
I dont generally recommend these for cars
or light trucks unless you operate a garage as a
business, says St. John. In addition to the cost of
the equipment, you need
