What dynamics are driving your business decisions these days? Maybe tight lending practices are stifling your ability to purchase equipment? Perhaps with growing revenues you’re getting close to adding a new truck and driver? Could be you’re thinking about which benefits you could offer to employees as we close in on 2013?

Four years after the economic recession of 2008, we want to gauge the state of the pumping industry. And to do that we’ve produced a new Pumper Survey, the first one we’ve conducted since the collapse of the real estate market derailed the U.S. economy.

Though the economic waters remain choppy, we’ve heard some encouraging reports from liquid waste haulers. We wanted a clear picture of the industry today, so we’ve developed the online survey you can access from the front page of the Pumper website or by clicking right here:

Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey then click “done” at the bottom of the page to register your answers. Readers have until Dec. 15 to complete the survey. Then we’ll compile and analyze the data and provide it for you in the March issue of Pumper. The hope is that a snapshot of industry trends will help you as you plan for the busy 2013 season and beyond.

Thanks in advance for participating in the survey.
