Guys don't laugh. A few years ago i met this guy who owns a septic pump business in another state. He told me he recently got into the porta john rental business and was making a killing. I really been thinking about it alot lately.
Heres my plan. Mount a pump tank and a fresh water tank on a open trailer to pump and service the rentals. I can tow this with any of my companys future trucks. I can use any trailer to drop the porta johns off on site. The main thing is i can tow the porta john service trailer to pump the rentals at night when the crews are not out working. Due to my yesrs of working in the construction field i am sure i can get several clients right away. Then i could rent johns out to people who have parties. Almost everyone who has people cut their grass have parties. I really think it would be easy to rent out to my existing customers. I really belive if i did strong marketing i could make alot of money with this. It seems no other company in this field does more then the yellow pages.
What do you guys think of this idea? I am not trying to make a living off this, just add an extra 20k or so to my bottom line, and keep money rolling in during the winter.
