Transportation
Veolia Environmental Services is capable of providing a wide range of transportation equipment such as van trailers, roll-off boxes, and tanker trucks. Specialty equipment such as dump trucks, flat beds, and vacuum trucks can be provided through arrangements with permitted subhaulers. Combined with our nationwide network of facilities, our distribution capabilities are unmatched throughout the country.
The following vehicles are available to service our customers:
- 40 to 53 ft. van trailers are available for the transportation of drummed and other containerized wastes
- 5,000 gallon bulk tanker and pneumatic vacuum trucks capable of hauling bulk liquids
- Midline trucks for hauling small quantities of drummed waste materials
- Flatbed trailers for hauling large items such as PCB transformers
- Dump trailers and roll-off containers for transporting contaminated soil
- Refrigerated trucks for hauling reactive chemicals
In addition to the in-house and subcontracted transportation resources available, we maintain a dedicated program for less-than-truckload (LTL) quantities of waste. Our LTL program is designed to provide the logistics necessary to optimize container movements within regional areas. This service is supported by a nationwide network of internal and external transportation resources. We make customer waste shipments easy by providing efficient and cost effective pick-up service, manifest and label service and dedicated route specialists ready to provide customer assistance.
The LTL program is ideal for generators of small to mid-sized volumes of waste materials, and especially for those who require timely service and the convenience of "one-stop" waste management services. The LTL program provides customers with assistance in characterizing and packaging of wastes generated at their facilities. We assist in choosing appropriate and cost-efficient treatment and/or disposal methods. We can also instruct LTL customers in obtaining required permits, if necessary, and can also provide accurate, pre-printed manifests, land ban forms and drum labels.
Our LTL program can provide customers the advantages of:
- Set-up and approval services
- Complete waste removal services within ten business days, or as prescheduled, including less-than-truckload quantities
- Electronic record-keeping, enabling customers to track shipments to final disposal, treatment or recycling
We have developed a system that gives the client a preset date for their hazardous waste pickups. This schedule is issued and reviewed by the client every six months. The schedule allows flexibility but keeps the customer in compliance regarding the ninety (90) day clock. For service requests that are not pre-arranged a typical lead-time would be two-three days for locations that are in close proximity to our service locations.
