PSAI Annual Survey Part III: The State of the Industry …continued
By Karleen Kos, PSAI Executive Director
Portable restroom trailers continue to gain market
share. About 70% of respondents have at least one
trailer in their fleet, and 10% have more than 50
trailers. The majority of companies have 20 trailers
or fewer .
About 94% of re sponding companies own their
service trucks. Most have 10 or fewer total trucks,
and in genera l the trucks fall below the 26,001
pound GV W R threshold. While this information is in
line with past data, it was somewhat surprising that
nearly 60% of companies do own one or more
trucks over that weight threshold, and 13% own 11
or more of the large tru cks. This suggests that as companies are increasing the number of units they own and service,
they are also stepping up to the larger trucks that allow them the flexibility to service more units per route.
In keeping with the trends ov erall, equipment budgets are growing as well. More than half of all companies report annual
capital expenditures in excess of $100,000 , and a full 30% state they spend more than $200,000 per year on capital
investments.
