If you want a business that services portable restrooms, you'll need to buy a portable restroom service truck. It's a pretty big investment, but you can be confident in what you end up with by remembering these useful tips. 

Consider Buying Used

Starting out, you may have limited financial resources. In this case, it may be better to buy a used portable restroom service truck. You'll be able to save a lot of money and can get this business off the ground and running without being so financially depleted. 

Just make sure that if you buy used, you have the truck professionally inspected. Only then will you know exactly what condition it's in and how it can perform. 

It's also a good idea to be willing to negotiate. There may be some dents and scratches on the truck's exterior, and these issues give you a better shot at getting the seller to come down on their listing price.

Lease For a Couple of Months

If you've never purchased portable restroom service trucks before, you may not be familiar with which brands and models are rated well. It's thus a good idea to hold off on purchasing this type of truck outright until you can see what trucks you're particularly fond of.

Instead, you can lease a portable restroom service truck out for a couple of months. You can then test it out and see how it performs around actual work sites. If it performed great, then you can purchase it outright. If there were issues, you can lease another truck until you find the perfect match.

Buy a Warranty

Portable restroom service trucks are not cheap by any means. They are subsequently not the cheapest vehicles to fix. Thus, you'll want added protection no matter what type of service truck you end up with.

The seller should be willing to give you a warranty as long as you pay additional fees. It will come in handy in case there is a problem with one of the major components like the engine or transmission. As long as this warranty is still active, you can have problems repaired free of charge and even have parts replaced for nothing.

Starting your own portable restroom servicing business can be a lucrative venture, but it will require you to buy a service truck. You can be confident in the model you end up with by performing research, reviewing impactful factors, and trying these trucks out for an extended period of time.
