The Demands of Portable Restroom Service Today
In today’s fast-paced sanitation industry, the pressure on portable restroom service providers has never been greater. With increasing jobsite demands, tighter schedules, and rising fuel and labor costs, companies are constantly searching for smarter ways to serve more locations — without draining their resources. It’s no longer just about getting the job done; it’s about how efficiently, economically, and reliably you can get it done.
This is where your fleet can either become a competitive advantage — or a costly bottleneck.
Traditional service models rely on separate units: one truck or trailer for hauling restrooms, another for servicing them. It’s a fragmented system that’s out of sync with modern expectations. More trips, more fuel, more labor hours — and less profit per route.
But what if you could do both in one trip?
Enter Matthews Motors flat vacuum tank trucks for portable restroom service — a revolutionary, patented innovation built specifically to solve this long-standing industry inefficiency. These trucks are designed to haul and service units in a single trip, enabling operators to cut down on route redundancies while elevating their service capacity.
Ask any experienced operator in the portable sanitation industry and they’ll tell you — running separate trucks for hauling and servicing is one of the most frustrating inefficiencies in the business. Traditional vacuum trucks, while effective in suction and service, weren’t built to carry a load of restrooms. So operators often rely on a separate fleet of flatbed trucks just to deliver and pick up units.
That means two vehicles, two drivers, and usually, two trips for every job.
Multiply that by dozens of deliveries a week — especially during peak event or construction seasons — and you’re looking at hundreds of extra hours in labor, thousands of dollars in fuel, and wear-and-tear on both equipment and crew.
Not to mention the logistical juggling act of scheduling both trucks to arrive at the same place, at the right time.
Single-Purpose Vehicles, Double the Headaches
Conventional vacuum tank trucks are, by design, limited in function. They’re built to service restrooms — pump them out, rinse them down, and move on. If your route also includes restroom delivery or pickup, you’re out of luck. Someone else from your team will need to make that trip separately.
Now you’re dealing with:
- Fleet inefficiency: Two trucks doing what one should be able to do
- Increased fuel consumption: Driving double the miles per job
- Staffing headaches: Scheduling and managing more personnel
- Lost time: Extra trips reduce the number of jobs per day
For growing operators, these inefficiencies become a serious obstacle to scaling. They restrict your ability to serve more customers without adding more trucks, more labor, and more cost.
And in today’s competitive market? That’s simply not sustainable.
Missed Opportunities = Missed Revenue
Every extra trip you make cuts into your profit margin. If your team is running separate routes just to deliver restrooms to the same site you’re servicing, that’s time lost. Jobs that could’ve been completed in a single pass now require hours of coordination and resources that don’t translate to additional revenue.
The portable restroom service industry is evolving fast, with more demand than ever for responsive, flexible service. And while traditional trucks served their purpose in the past, they’re no longer equipped to meet the growing expectations of modern customers and high-volume routes.
That’s where the innovation of Matthews Motors flat vacuum tank trucks for portable restroom service comes in — offering a hybrid solution that eliminates the need for two trucks, two trips, and double the hassle.
The Solution: Flat Vacuum Tank Trucks That Do It All
It’s one thing to point out inefficiencies — it’s another to eliminate them entirely. That’s exactly what your patented flat vacuum tank trucks for portable restroom service are built to do. They don’t just tweak the old model; they redefine the entire workflow for sanitation operations.
Designed from the ground up, these hybrid units are engineered to combine restroom hauling and servicing in one streamlined, rugged, and road-ready platform. No more dispatching multiple trucks. No more splitting up your team or shuffling schedules around. Just one operator, one vehicle, and one visit — that’s the magic of the flat tank solution.
The Mechanics Behind the Efficiency
Your system pairs a flatbed surface with integrated vacuum tank functionality. The flatbed can carry multiple portable restrooms — typically 6 to 8 units — while the flat vacuum tank provides full servicing capabilities: suction, rinse, and recharge.
The flat tank allows for weight balance and storage without eating into cargo space. All hoses, controls, and safety systems are easily accessible and built for rugged field use.
When your operator rolls up to a jobsite, they can:
- Deliver fresh restrooms
- Pump out and service existing units
- Haul away damaged or end-of-cycle units
- All in a single stop.
That means routes can be stacked more tightly, service windows shrink, and clients get a faster, more professional experience every time.
Real World Efficiency Gains
Field tests and real-world operations show these trucks can handle 30–50% more service calls per day — especially during peak demand seasons like summer festivals, major events, and construction surges. Operators who previously made three round trips a day are now completing five, all without compromising service quality.
Let’s compare side-by-side what this looks like: This hybrid functionality isn’t just a bonus — it’s a complete operational shift. You’re no longer planning around vehicle limitations. You’re building a fleet that adapts to real-world conditions, reduces strain on your team, and maximizes each labor hour.
And with fuel prices and wages on the rise, those extra trips saved? They translate directly to your bottom line.
