1,200 units. By 2024, we already had a dozen people on staff, including Monika and me. We had several full-time delivery drivers and one part-time, 4 vac truck operators, 4 administrative office workers, and a 22,000-square-foot building.

Now [2026], after only 5 years in business, we have offices in both San Francisco and LA. We have 30 employees. That includes two overseas, in the Philippines, doing customer service. We have one person up in San Francisco working the website.

We have 10 people in the office, including an office manager, admins, and 2 supervisors. And we have a large team of delivery drivers, vac truck operators, and an in-house mechanical staff.

We currently have long-term contracts for large numbers of units. We did the FIFA World Cup, and have served a long list of major clients on large-scale projects.

I owned a roll-off dumpster rental company there, serving the construction market. Eventually, I moved to California. Monika and I got married in 2019. I started buying, renovating, and reselling residential houses in the San Francisco area. I flipped some houses, then I started SOS. When we started the company, it was near the end of COVID in 2021. Technically, I started to buy the equipment and supplies earlier that year, and it took 8 months or so to get a truck. On October 25, I got my first customer. After I grew the business for some years, I eventually moved to Los Angeles, where we now have a second base of operations.

THE SOS ENTERPRISE 2026 Our business model is about 80% construction customers and the other 20% or so from industrial, parks, agriculture, and special events (weddings, etc.). We also provide emergency rentals in response to calls from customers like Walmart, Amazon, etc.

This November, it will be 5 years in business.

We already have 2,700 toilets and 25 trucks. The majority of our trucks are from Imperial. Some are FlowMark. Some are Robinson. I have some slide-ins from KeyVac. Our toilet units are mostly from Armal.

Armal has provided a vast volume of our toilet units, all at a level of product and service quality that has

SPOTLIGHT and many various office operations. He manages sales, advertising, the fleet yard, equipment maintenance tracking, and supply ordering, etc. for both the SF and LA operations.

Yaniv kept ordering equipment and work vehicles trying to meet the flood of new customers. He ordered more and more toilets, including ADA units.

SOS added a 10-unit delivery truck, and further expanded the fleet with two new Internationals, each with a 900-gallon waste tanks and 375-gallon freshwater tank, and a new Ford F-250 with a 200-gallon waste tank and a 100-gallon freshwater slide-in tank.

He started with 200 Armal toilet units and 3 Black Tie luxury trailers, two with 5 stations and one 3 stations. He also had a 2020 Ford F-550 from PortaLogix with a 500-gallon waste tank and a 300-gallon freshwater tank, and a 2016 F-350 from Robinson Vac with a 300-gallon waste and 150-gallon freshwater tank. But, SOS still soon ran into capacity shortages and equipment production delays due to COVID. ENTER ARMAL, INC. INTO THE SOS STORY It makes sense that Armal became the go-to supplier for Yaniv and his new rental service business. The signature Armal design, performance quality and the reliability to deliver mass orders on time have made the producer a natural fit for extremely accelerated startup phases like SOS underwent. Plus, Armal portable restrooms are designed for exceptionally high durability and lasting performance under the rugged conditions of ongoing rental operations.

Armal products are all made in the US, optimized for shipping, and engineered for quick assembly and easy parts replacement, to help keep toilet rental operations running smoothly. The

SOS CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE MANAGEMENT Other companies in our area are doing a good job, and we just provide something that others may not.

Competition is great, and I am always competing — with myself above all. I tell people all the time, if you do want to be my competition, when you sleep, I’m awake. I just mean, you need to be on top of it. If you see something that’s not right, you need to make a comment. If you see a customer issue, help them, resolve it to their benefit, give them a discount too, etc.

Our customer service is above and beyond. But, if somebody is unhappy, I just refund the money. Even if I get a complaint that is actually the customer’s fault, I can fight it, but why should I? I give them a discount on their next order, or give them a free delivery. It’s more about goodwill than always being precisely in the right.

If I can make a couple happy, I believe in that. I believe it deep in my heart. I believe in energy. So if it’s not in their budget for their event, I might ask, “What’s your budget?” and I might just do it for them. I still make money but maybe $200 less. It’s

saved with the Omega filtration system has justified the cost of the new pumper tank and filtration truck.

The reduced number of disposal trips has cut fuel use, unloading time, and tipping costs, while giving the company more time to service customers. He says now he has much more time to service customers.

Brandon purchased an Omega truck with the patented grease trap filtration system. (The system includes patented technologies for both grease trap and septic tank content filtration. Note: The innovative autoretractable hoses on the high-tech truck are also a favorite work- and time-saver for pumper technicians and business owners).

Using the advanced equipment has saved his business costs in money, time, and labor. He explained to ALW recently, “We are mostly using it for grease traps. I don’t have exact data on it, but it has cut down on our disposal fees, which were becoming very high for grease, at least 40%, if not more.

Just knowing what I route my truck for and what he (the pumper technician) comes back with makes the

exactly what it says it would do. And for a poly tank, you want some water in there to keep it from floating, so it’s a smart choice for homeowners with those tanks.”

We asked Brandon what he thinks about so many operators driving for hours and waiting in long lines, sometimes being turned away, and driving more hours to find a place to dump septage, and paying huge fees just to finally get back to their service area and continue helping customers. He said, “It’s pitiful.”

particularly valuable where disposal capacity is limited.”

CONCLUSION It does appear that the Carolina Septic owner is not wrong in his assessment that what’s happening to many service businesses in the nationwide septage disposal crisis is pitiful. In this industry environment, many operators are becoming worried about their financial sustainability.

Arguably, population centers, regardless of size, should expand waste processing plants, despite the colossal cost since it is a public health matter. But that is a fraught proposition for wastewater haulers who need a more timely remedy, as are other elusive alternatives on the list of potential solutions.

The most practical route to that end appears to be for pumpers to take matters in hand to stop the chaos from

What inspires me most about my own role is seeing an idea become something that helps another business succeed. It starts with a conversation about a customer's needs, and months later we're handing them the keys to a truck that's going to generate revenue, support their employees, and serve their community for years to come. Knowing we play a role in their success is incredibly meaningful.

I'm also inspired by our team. Watching skilled craftsmen, engineers, and employees take pride in what they build every day reminds me why we've been successful. Their commitment to quality is what makes Robinson Vacuum Tanks what it is.

As the owner, my responsibility is to make sure we're building a company that will continue to thrive for future generations — one that our employees are proud to work for and our customers are proud to do business with. That's what motivates me every day.
