Septic Vacuum Truck Driver & Technician (CDL Required)

Looking for a career, not just another job? Want to work for a thriving, family-owned business that’s been going strong for 88 years? Join the #1 team in the #2 business! We’re not the best septic company just because we’re the oldest—we’re the oldest because we’re still the best.

Why Are We the Best? Because of our amazing team—and you should be part of it. As a family-owned and operated company since 1937, we prioritize work-life balance, which is why we’re closed nights and weekends so you can spend well-deserved time with family and friends.

No more over-the-road CDL driving. Our Vacuum Truck Operators (Septic Tank Pumpers) have earned a respected reputation built on honesty and integrity.

No Experience? No Diploma? No Problem. We are happy to train motivated individuals who are ready to roll up their sleeves and learn a valuable trade.

This Job is NOT for You If... You’re looking for an easy, low-paying job to clock in and out of.

But If You…
• Feel unappreciated at your current job
• Are tired of being on-call all the time
• Want a job with steady hours and no nights or weekends
• Want job security in a business that wasn’t affected by COVID
Then apply now. Not sure if this job is for you? Come give it a try. You won’t know unless you take the shot.
