Trucks + Get AlertsThe majority of septic service trucks have a cab painted one color and the tank either painted a contrasting color or – in many cases – stainless and aluminum left with a mirror shine. But some companies looking to make a big first impression go all-out with one color, be it fire truck red, basic black or wild metallic blue.
Check out these Classy Trucks that pull off a monochromatic look with style!
.jpeg "Owner Todd Summers draped his 2013 International from Erickson Tank & Pump in Viper red from front to back. Then he bolted on lots of chrome, from the diamond plate hose trays to the wheels and windshield visor to come up with a great look for Ace Acme Septic Services in Arlington, Washington.")
.jpeg "Dave Lobdell of Averill Park Septic Service in Averill Park, New York, bought a lot of midnight blue paint for his Classy Truck that was once displayed at the Pumper & Cleaner Expo by builder Wee Engineer. Minimal hood graphics and red-outlined white lettering give the truck a simple look.")
.jpeg "No-nonsense white was the color chosen for this rig by Tom and Steve Oravsky of Countryside Septic Service in Voorheesvile, New York. The truck from Transway Systems received green graphics and lettering in a simple, elegant design that is easy for passing motorists to read.")
.jpeg "When Dusty Miller overhauled a flatbed Peterbilt truck for septic service, he decided to keep the color simple. For many pumpers, white means clean: It doesn't hide any dirt and you better keep it on a regular wash schedule. The speedy service turtle is a nice touch on the tank and hood.")
.jpeg "You can never have too much metallic green, according to Rene Goulet, owner of this stunning septic rig from Vacutrux Limited. The owner of Goulet Septic Pumping & Design in Green Valley, Ontario, Canada, balanced all that emerald paint with plenty of contrasting graphics that tell passing drivers the services he provides and numbers where to reach him.")
.jpeg "When you can't have a red Corvette, the least you can do is paint your septic service truck a showstopping red. The phrase on Joe Hall's bug shield says it all. The owner of Hall's Serv-All in Posen, Michigan, has been painting his trucks red for at least 15 years, including this one built out by Pik Rite Inc.")
.jpeg "How much red paint did you use to cover that big Kenworth T800, Marc Lamoureux? The rig built out by Vacutrux has a few chrome accents, but just about every nook and cranny is crimson, meaning no one is going to miss the truck as it rolls down the highway for Lamoureux Pumping in Casselman, Ontario, Canada.")
.jpeg "Troy and Gail Temme's metallic blue hauler looks fantastic with chrome accents in the wheels, stacks, toolbox, horns and visor. The truck from T-Line Equipment carries silver and blue graphics that pop when they reflect sunlight. The Temme's Classy Truck was built for their Maritime Liquid Waste Transport Inc. in Newton, Wisconsin.")
.jpeg "A deep blue paint job makes a great background for bold white lettering on Gary Wilson's truck refurbished by Engle Fabrication Inc. The owner of Palmer, Alaska, company Polar Pumper Septic Service went with a simple color choice that works well in his rugged service territory.")
.jpeg "Some might call it a bare bones look. Others might appreciate the simple, clean look of an all-white septic service truck with matching white wheels and minimal graphics. This truck reflects the name of the company, Tidy Services of Roanoke, Virginia. The owner is Alex Phillips and the truck was built out by Abernethy Welding.")
.jpeg "Kathy Tillman, of Tillman Septic Pumping Services in Jacksonville, Florida, chose black to match trucks she owns for a construction company. But the color serves her well with bold white and red shadowed lettering on the big rig built out by 27th Trucks Inc.")
