What is a Vacuum Truck?
David, Great question
A vacuum truck is basically a very large truck with a heavy-duty tank and a powerful vacuum that works not only on solids, but also liquids and sludge-type consistencies. Sometimes these trucks are called sewer trucks or “honey wagons” because they can be used to empty the “honey bucket”, or composting toilet.
What is a Vacuum Truck used for?
Vacuum trucks are mostly used for the transportation or removal of sanitary waste. Towns, cities, and counties make use of vacuum truck services for the regular maintenance of latrines in parks, clean-up of streets, or cleaning out sewers or sewer lift stations. They can also be used commercially to clean up oil spills or other materials. Vacuum trucks are especially useful in cleaning up liquid waste from various areas.
After the materials are suctioned into the tank of the truck, they are then disposed of properly according to state law. Sewage is usually transported to a wastewater plant for treatment. When suctioning up dust or dry debris, filters are used to prevent air contamination.
Vacuum trucks can also be used for cleaning grease traps or removing sand or mud at construction sites. They can also be used to help construction workers locate lines underground, or can be used for other industries, including agricultural, manufacturing, marine, and power generation.

How Does a Vacuum Truck Work?
A vacuum truck works similarly to a shop vac. A powerful pump removes air from the holding tank, which creates a vacuum inside. Opening the primary and secondary shutoff valves on suction hoses forces the tank to try and equalize the pressure inside, letting the truck suck up liquids and sludge. Just like a home vacuum, the quality of the equipment and the power of the pump affect suction power and the ability to handle difficult jobs.
How do Vacuum Trucks Increase Safety?
There's more to vacuum trucks than sewers and septic systems. Vacuum trucks play an important role in keeping towns and work sites clean and safe. For hazardous waste or oil spills, vacuum trucks are essential to quickly clearing and storing any dangerous materials, which prevents them from contaminating the environment or entering local waterways. Whether it's waste management, a hazmat emergency, or environmental cleanup, these big machines are able to handle messy jobs of any size. At Cloud 9 Services, LLC safety of our workers is a top priority, our team of professionals are experts on safety procedures.
