Texas Pumper Customizes Vacuum Trucks for Maximum Productivity

When a business is hampered by scarce labor, efficiency takes on an even greater importance. That’s why Ray Purcell — co-owner of Dumas Pumping Service in Dumas, Texas — customizes his septic service trucks with features both big and small to maximize productivity. For starters, each of his two trucks — a 2006 Mack Granite and a 2008 Western Star 4900 — carry a 4,200-gallon steel tank (4,000-gallons waste, 200-gallons freshwater for washdown use) built by Lely Tank & Waste Solutions (now owned by American Tank).Purcell also had them equipped with twin 500 Series vacuum pumps (500 cfm) from Fruitland Manufacturing.
