Sidney from Dependable Waste Solutions walks us through her portable restroom truck, "Fergie," offering insights every operator should consider for their next vehicle. Sidney, who partnered with Best Enterprises for her build, emphasizes investing in long-term quality: “If I’m going to spend the money, I’m only doing it once.” She acknowledges that while the chassis will eventually wear out from the hours and miles, the tank remains a valuable asset that can be resold or placed on a new chassis.

Drawing from experience, Sidney highlights several custom features that have made her truck more user-friendly. To combat common rotator cuff injuries in the industry, she added a drop tray for easier hose access. She also included two bucket trays — one for chemicals and a scrub bucket, and another for trash.
To boost efficiency, one of her hoses is set up for bucket filling, reducing the need for constant water hauling. Sidney also installed a sprayer holder, stocked with Urinex, scent spray, and graffiti remover, ensuring her crew has everything they need within easy reach.
Sidney's thoughtful design makes Fergie an efficient, safe, and reliable asset for her team, offering valuable lessons for anyone planning their next truck purchase.
