o Do this exercise on a regular basis or immediately if
there is a major change in your costs (EX disposal fees
dramatically increase).
• Inventory Control

o How do you account for equipment in the field—route
service sheets? Are drivers responsible for notating
discrepancies in service sheets vs actual equipment
on-site?

Supplier Tabletops!
When we all gather in Myrtle Beach for the Nuts & Bolts
Educational Conference, we will bring together a wide range
of people and businesses. Professionals from a wide array of
areas in the portable sanitation industry will be gathering; this
will include folks who are the supply side of the industry. While
this conference provides an excellent opportunity to grow and
enhance your business through education, it is also a great way
to get buyers and sellers to connect. That's right—even though
the Nuts & Bolts Educational Conference does not work like
a trade show, time is built in for suppliers to talk about new
products and services that operators may not have yet heard
about. Every year during Nuts & Bolts, suppliers are on hand to
market and will meet with potential customers during tabletop
display sessions.
Supplier tabletops will be available on Thursday and Friday
morning during the conference. Dedicated tabletop time
will be:
Thursday, November 4, 2:30 to 3:00 pm
Friday, November 5, 8:45 to 9:15 am
There is still time to get a Tabletop!
If you are a supplier who would value the opportunity to
meet live and in-person with your future customers during
tabletop sessions, contact Todd Ginter at the PSAI office at
toddg@psai.org or by calling 952-854-8300.
