Driver says our unit is 50 feet from truck access. Is that too far?

Fifty feet is too far for a standard vacuum truck hose. Most service trucks have hoses that extend to about 30 feet. The driver was correct to flag the distance.

The type of unit does not change the hose length. A vacuum truck uses the same hose to pump out the holding tank on a standard unit, a deluxe unit, or an ADA-compliant unit. The limitation is the hose reel on the truck and the suction power needed to move waste over a long distance. Going beyond 30 feet risks an incomplete pump-out or a hose disconnection.

Your crew of eight only requires one toilet under OSHA 1926.51, so you have the right number of units. You need to solve the truck access problem. Ask the rental company if they can schedule a truck with a longer hose, but that is a special request and may not be available. The practical solution is to find a placement closer to the driveway, even if it is not perfectly level. A blocked unit results in a missed service, and you are still billed for the trip.

The driver cannot service a unit 50 feet from the truck. Most vacuum truck hoses reach 25 to 30 feet, and longer runs lose suction. You need to move the unit closer to the driveway. The rental company will charge for a missed service if the driver arrives and cannot reach it. Ask the driver to confirm the exact hose length on his truck, but do not expect more than 30 feet. If no closer level spot exists, use temporary plywood or gravel to create a stable surface near the driveway. Your crew size meets OSHA 1926.51 with one unit, so focus on access.
