Placement is where a portable toilet stands: on level, firm ground within truck access, away from food and drink service, downwind of guests, out of vehicle paths, with a lit and accessible route for users. Good placement prevents tip-overs, odor complaints and missed service.
A missed service is a scheduled service visit the driver could not complete, usually because the truck could not reach the unit: a locked gate, a blocked drive, vehicles parked in front, soft ground or a unit moved by the customer. Most agreements bill the trip and reschedule.
