RELIABLE Portable Bathrooms
Phoenix AZ
Dallas Zyadet, Owner of Reliable Portable Bathrooms in Phoenix Arizona is utterly driven by the quality of his rental product. After his ASU education in Finance, Zyadet found himself inspired to become an entrepreneur, like his father before him. Reflecting now on his early experience, he tells the story of how he became inspired to enter the highly competitive portable restroom rental industry in one of the world’s largest and most challenging market environments, Phoenix metro.

INSPIRATION TO PURSUE QUALITY IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
When I was a kid I would always see portable bathrooms. My mother, father, and everybody else had the same thought about those — you don’t use portable bathrooms. They’re dirty, smelly, just gross. I remember my father working on construction sites. They always had portable bathrooms on the sites. They smelled bad. When I saw one, I wouldn’t want to use it. They were always gross. My brother is in the construction industry as well. He was telling me about the portable bathrooms on the job sites where he works. His comments were the same as I had always heard, that those smell bad and are too dirty to want to use.
So, I thought, where is there a company that provides good portable bathrooms? I researched a bunch for a solid year. But Research & Development is finding how to do things. It’s finding better solutions. It’s finding ways to make a better value for the customers. It’s figuring out something that can be done that hasn’t been done before.
RELIABLE – A LEAGUE
OF ITS
OWN I joke that we don’t have competitors. You can call and continued on page 10

Research & Development is finding how to do things. It’s finding better solutions. It’s finding ways to make a better value for the customers.
someone will bring you a portable bathroom. But, what we do is completely different. There are things portable bathroom rental companies do to save costs. That often includes using only brief inspection processes that meet the basic standard. What we do is very different. Every time a unit is delivered, it is first inspected by two supervisors, and they both have to say it’s ready to go out.
Many portable bathroom rental companies settle for sending out units with graffiti, tar, or grease marks. We make sure that every unit is in brand-new condition. When we deliver units in that condition, people respect that. It’s of such high quality that people respect it. That’s a very different kind of experience for them than they’ve come to expect.
Dallas’s choice of the beautiful soft pink portapotties also just presents the company’s customers
with something unique and unexpected. The units just look exceptionally fresh and comparatively pretty.
THE RELIABLE DIFFERENCE
There is one guy I know who has been in construction for five years. He said the condition of the portable bathrooms on the work sites is always terrible. Again, what we do compared to what our competitors do is very different. We begin with training our drivers by having them start out cleaning in the yard. They clean the units that go under inspection from our supervisors. That goes on for about two weeks. Then they can start driving the trucks.
We use an inspection tracking sheet to track how much time we spend on inspections. The industry average is about 3 minutes per unit. We give our guys 15 minutes. That means we spend 500% longer on inspecting each unit. We’re detailing it like a car at a car wash.
One kind of fun thing we do is called “good water.” Because we use that, the units dry spot-free. Over time, you get calcium stains, as you can expect on anything unless you attend to preventing that. So, with our good water process, our units are always shiny, vibrant, and look new. I’ve probably ordered 40 different soaps to clean the units, degreasers, solvents, etc. The soap we use is the best.
QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMS AT RELIABLE
Two supervisors split the valley. They have different Before and After routes, and shadowing routes. Shadowing is performed according to a set calendar for that. We have hand sanitizer checks, other stock checks, and GPS checks. Each of those is assigned. Those could all happen on the same day.
continued on page 12
10 AMERICAN LIQUID WASTE OCTOBER 2023 Visit Us
SPOTLIGHT INDEX
The supervisors take notes on different Before and After conditions. We take very thorough and detailed notes on every unit we clean. If a unit is already clean at the Before stage, it should be extra clean at the After stage. That means wiping it, even if it looks clean, to remove any dust particles, refresh the soap, hand sanitizer, tissue, etc.
We’re continuously reaching out to our customers to see how things are going, making sure they are happy with the service and that everything is perfect for them.
GOING THE EXTRA DISTANCE FOR INCOMPARABLE QUALITY
When someone says, “I have portable bathrooms, people usually have an image of an outhouse type of unit. We’ve tested every single portable bathroom from all the big providers. We were looking to determine, for example, which cleans the best, which holds the most toilet paper, and is the best based on various other criteria. Many only hold 2 rolls of tissue. The industry average is 2 rolls. Ours hold 3. We were also looking for the tank design that is the easiest to clean and the most hygienic. That was an issue, finding a tank that is easy to clean.
continued on page 14

We’re continuously reaching out to our customers to see how things are going, making sure they are happy with the service and that everything is perfect for them.
MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES AND ENVIRONMENTS AROUND THE WORLD
Another feature we were looking for was strength in the unit. Some types that are not very well built may jiggle like jello when they’re moved. You want one that is sturdy and adds value to the customer’s site. We don’t want some amateur-built units.
At one point we had 16 different types of units and we settled on the best one. It’s a dual-insulated unit and very easy to clean. It wasn’t the cheapest, the most convenient, or the most readily available. But, we invested in the best units, and we chose the best chemicals, the best hand sanitizer, cleaner, disinfectant, etc. — and the best crew.
We maintain very high standards for everyone who works here. We clean the trucks immaculately. The yard is organized. The drivers are organized. Every aspect of the operation is well organized, including billing, sales, management, human resources, and all other functions. We run every part of the business rigorously and professionally.
RELIABLE SALES DISTINCTIONS
When you try ordering portable restroom rental units, most of the time you get an answering service, or you order online. This is another way we do things differently. Here, 24/7, when you call for information
or to rent portable bathroom units, you will always talk with a real person.
We provide facilities for birthday parties, government grand openings, backyard remodeling, and large apartment complex construction projects… We can help everyone from 1 to 100 units. Whatever the need, we can help you.
CONNECTING WITH CUSTOMERS
When asked about his company’s online marketing and use of web analytics tools, Dallas talks about a different way of thinking about marketing and sales methodologies. Yes, we use website analytics, and I would say our online marketing is very effective.
Our website looks very professional. We wanted it to have a good, engaging feeling for our customers. But most of our work comes from word of mouth. For me, it’s about respecting human interaction. You can place orders on the website, but I’m pushing for the phone call.
Unlike many other providers, we have people in the office to take phone calls. It’s fun when all the phones are in use at the same time. I want to connect with the customers. When you tell somebody we

...we use website analytics, and I would say our online marketing is very effective. Our website looks very professional.
have clean bathrooms, they think maybe it’s a sales tactic, but we really do. We offer a different class of customer experience. I could save a bunch of money if we didn’t do that level of work, but we do the work.
SUCCESS IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN
Dallas is very understated about his personal accomplishments. He avoids the usual listing of the standard proof points of his business’s success. It appears uncharacteristic of him to talk about the number of portable restroom units his company has in inventory, the number of accounts the field staff services weekly, annual revenue totals, etc., to indicate the company’s growth status. He simply shares that the business currently has 25+ employees and is growing. That number includes the administrative team, dispatchers, route supervisors, drivers, and maintenance team members.
The business’s 5-year growth plan involves getting another yard, more drivers, more office staff, and so on. Ultimately, Dallas envisions having a corporate office somewhere as the base of a broader-ranging enterprise.
The thriving company under the leadership of Dallas Zyadet appears ideally positioned for exciting
growth rates in the coming years. We look forward to checking in for an ALW update of this initial coverage of the Reliable Portable Bathrooms story in the years to come.
THE RELIABLE EMPLOYER BRAND
Adding to the leadership’s depth of commitment to an unprecedented level of quality in pristine rental restroom units, Reliable’s personnel policies further account for the company’s flourishing. The employees are well paid in wages plus benefits. There’s also a sense that something more is at work in the thriving business. A high level of company pride, a rapport of mutual respect with management, and a collaborative environment appears to be at the foundation of the company culture.
We invest in the highest quality of uniforms for our employees. The uniforms display our logo. They’re very professional looking and provide sun protection, and they’re (the employees are) dressed like a million bucks. The uniform is a white shirt and black pants. With the white trucks, it all looks very clean. It presents an image of purity. It doesn’t hide dirt. That’s one reason why we picked the pink portable bathroom units. It (pink) shows dirt like crazy.
From what so many employees have told me, they would go to former employers with problems and ideas for solutions but they, too often, wouldn’t even listen. We do things differently in this regard too. All my employees say, “Thank you for telling me that my ideas are important and actually listening to them.”
TEAM COLLABORATION AT RELIABLE
So many of my best ideas come from our employees. We have frequent spitball sessions. Like every business, we’re often faced with questions like: How
continued on page 18
16 AMERICAN LIQUID WASTE OCTOBER 2023 Visit Us
SPOTLIGHT INDEX
do we improve this? Or, Hey, what if…? When that happens, we get three people in a room, including employees and management, to work on developing solutions through spitballing.
We try to do that at least once a day. We just set
aside 10 minutes and pass ideas back and forth. We get something better together than we would have gotten individually on our own.
DALLAS ZYADET, POLICY OF GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
We have done events for charitable causes in the past for which we gave away units for free, etc., and we still do that occasionally. We donate to several charities regularly, such as breast cancer awareness and animal rescue. Almost all of my employees, vendors, friends, and teachers, and I know somebody who has suffered from breast cancer. We support animal rescues because those are some of the most underappreciated charities. We did our research and identified organizations that use the majority of donated funds directly for the critical work, and we give them a portion of each dollar earned.

...I’d just say to newcomers, do you want to come and join me at the cutting edge of the industry or follow the old methodology of doing things?
ADVICE FOR NEW MARKET ENTRANTS FROM DALLAS ZYADET, RELIABLE PORTABLE BATHROOMS, PHOENIX, AZ
I would say that, if you’re starting your own company in this industry, you will have a choice. Ask yourself, do you want to save money and cannibalize your resources, etc., or really commit to quality? Or, I’d just say to newcomers, do you want to come and join me at the cutting edge of the industry or follow the old methodology of doing things?
The Reliable brand story is certainly one about the way to the future of the industry, leaving behind the old service paradigm in which the norm was settling for quality standards that are no longer good enough to compete with the Reliable quality management model. It veritably upgrades current industry best practices. Under the direction of Dallas Zyadet, his company’s approach to sales, product quality, and agile collaboration stand apart in the national market. Add the highly driven business leader’s push to scale, and Reliable Portable Bathrooms offers an extraordinary strategic model for the future of the industry.

Track These 6 Unexpected Expenses To Save Big on Taxes in 2024
SPOTLIGHT INDEX
As a sewer, septic tank or portable restroom contractor, you have a lot on your plate. The management of staff, equipment, clients and several other things is not an easy feat. Also, no matter how astute you are, it is impossible to predict all the expenses your business will have in a year. However, by diligently tracking and recording certain expenses, it is possible to save big on taxes in 2024. Let’s dig into some of these expenses.
EQUIPMENT COSTS AND DEPRECIATION
As a sewer and septic tank contractor, you work with specialized equipment such as sewer jetters and inversion machines. For these machines to work effectively, they need to be properly maintained. As a result, it is important to monitor the costs incurred in their maintenance. A good record of these expenses can qualify you for significant tax deductions. These deductions can become even bigger when the depreciation of these pieces of equipment is also factored in.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
As a good entrepreneur, you must ensure that the work environment of your company is harmonious and conducive. One way to do this is through employee benefits. Employee benefits
such as health insurance, retirement plans and education assistance can help encourage your staff and improve overall job satisfaction. Not only that, but the costs incurred from these benefits are tax deductible. So, it is a win-win situation for you and your business.
MARKETING AND ADVERTISING
Marketing and advertising can be unpredictable and easily incur unexpected expenses. However, it is vital to the growth and development of your septic, sewer and portable restroom business. You need to invest in publicizing what you do and the benefits of working with you. However, did you know that marketing and advertising costs are tax deductible? Yes, the costs of website development, social media
20 AMERICAN LIQUID WASTE OCTOBER 2023 Visit Us
BUSINESS CORNER PRODUCT WA TCH IN THE NEWS TECH NEWS ASSOCIA TION NEWS
campaigns and printing materials can be calculated as business expenses. The expenses are qualified for tax deductions.
VEHICLE EXPENSES
Your vehicles are essential to the provision of services to your clients. They aid in the transportation of your
staff and your equipment to the work site. Some of your equipment even has to be coupled with them to work effectively. Consequently, you have to spend on your vehicles. This ensures that they continue to run smoothly. Sounds like a hassle, right?
The good news is that the expenses incurred in the usage and maintenance of your vehicles are tax deductible. As a result, you need to monitor and keep good records of mileage, fuel expenses and maintenance costs. The principle of depreciation can also be used here to bring about further tax deductions.
LEGAL AND PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION FEES
To conduct business safely and successfully, you need the input of other professionals. From time to time,

Marketing and advertising...is vital to the growth and development of your septic, sewer and portable restroom business.
you might need to seek consultations from attorneys, accountants, auditors and the like. Sometimes, the need for these consultations can be unexpected, and the fees can be costly. However, they are important to ensure that your company continues to move forward.
The funds spent on consultation fees are tax deductible. This would save you a significant amount in taxes. As such, diligent records of this should be kept.
SAFETY AND TRAINING
Although the sewer and septic tank industry is not the most dangerous in the world, it is not without risks. Every working day, you and your staff are exposed to hazards, be they chemical, physical or biological. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you invest in materials and systems that protect your staff from these hazards. It is also important to organize training programs that help your staff spot these hazards and effectively avoid them. As an added incentive to your management, the costs of these are tax deductible — so don’t scrimp on them.

...it is of utmost importance that you invest in materials and systems that protect your staff from these hazards.
TRAVEL EXPENSES
Sometimes, you or members of your staff would have to travel, either to do a job or to attend an industry event. Although travel can be expensive or regarded as a luxury, it is important for the advancement of a business. Successful completion of a job you have to travel for widens the range of your business coverage. Attending an industry event helps sharpen your skills and improve your network. Travel expenses are also tax deductible, so keeping a proper record of them can lead to significant tax deductions.

THE GEAR BOX:
10 Digital Tools & Services To Keep Your Septic Service Business Thriving
The vast majority of septic service companies are new, small, or medium-sized businesses. While we have identified processes and business strategies that are necessary for a small septic service company to grow, there are also tools that any small to medium-sized business (SMB) should leverage in the digital age. Most septic service SMBs have a bl ind spot when it comes to these types of things, but forward-thinking business leaders in the i ndustry can take the lead in their markets by adopting these tools as rapidly as possible.
Here's our top ten list of digital business tools locallevel SMBs need.
10 DIGITAL BUSINESS TOOLS YOUR LOCAL-LEVEL SEPTIC COMPANY NEEDS
1. CYBER SECURITY & CYBER INSURANCE
Everyone needs cyber security, especially businesses. Any person or organization that handles customer payment data cannot do without cyber security insurance. This is because hackers ultimately cannot be stopped forever. If your customers are hacked when making a purchase from you, your business could be held liable. The answer isn't avoiding online business activity. The answer is to lean into it and invest in strong security.
2. BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Business management software (BMS) automates a lot of tedious processes that pull your attention away from the things that you do best. The information age
has made it so that outsourcing is cheaper and more profitable than ever. This means outsourcing HR, accounting, payroll, compliance, and more can save you time and money. More importantly, it can save you from making costly mistakes.
3. SALES PORTALS
Especially after Covid, people expect to be able to do things remotely. A lot of people are still afraid of human contact. Therefore, you can retain a great deal of business by offering them low or no-contact ways to buy your services. Being able to complete a purchase with ease online also removes barriers to conversion that can put you ahead of the competition.
4. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
If you have multiple teams in the field coordinating connected and unconnected jobs, project management software can help to keep them
continued on page 26
24 AMERICAN LIQUID WASTE OCTOBER 2023 Visit Us
coordinated. It can prevent overlapping routes from reducing efficiency, and it can help you get the right team to the right job the first time.
5. COMMS AND COLLABORATION
Making it possible for your home office and field
teams to actively communicate and collaborate while looking at the same sets of information is a great way to save time. It can reduce errors, improve customer satisfaction, and give you innumerable ways to solve your customer's problems as, or before they arise.
6. WEB DEVELOPMENT
This is one area where septic service SMBs tend to fall behind. If your website is clunky, functions poorly, or looks unprofessional, most customers will move on to the next search result. Good web development helps in many ways, but the first impression customers have of your website is the most important thing a web developer will improve.
7. ONLINE PERFORMANCE MONITORING
If you take all our advice up to this point, you'll have some powerful tools to grow your exposure

to customers. But to ensure these tools are working optimally, you need to monitor and track their performance. Key performance indicators like website traffic aren't hard to keep an eye on. It can be done with simple tools. But don't forget to interpret and restrategize in response to the metrics you get back.
8. CRM
Managing customer relations by the seat of your pants is not necessary. Customer relations management tools can give you automated access to information trails left behind by your customers. You can use this information to improve their experience with your company. In reality, it's about listening and responding to feedback. CRM tools just make this easier.
9. VIDEO CONFERENCING SOFTWARE
This goes back to our point about sales portals. Being able to talk to your customers in real-time using video conferencing can take all the pain and time out of
talking in person. Sure, you can do this via smartphone, but it works better with the psychology of customers to have a dedicated online space for video conferencing.
10. CONTENT MARKETING
Finally, you need a strong, SEO-optimized content strategy. You need to produce video and/or written content to turn your customers and potential customers into well-informed buyers. This gives them the ability to make the smartest purchase, (which should be from you). More importantly, it instills trust in them.

IN THE NEWS
ASSOCIA TION NEWS
The small business subsector in the United States is currently growing at an accelerated rate. Business analysts assess this period as an ideal period for a small business startup. But, some big challenges can be expected when starting from scratch. Those can derail growth plans and even the profitability of small operations. From inexperienced leadership to staff performance issues, to poor spending management, to many other struggles, operational problems make startups vulnerable to failure.
So, refrain from moving forward full-time until you have created a business plan that you believe will succeed. Comprehend the competitive environment. Make sure you have enough resources to break away from your current employment before cutting off that income source.
ASSOCIA TION INSIDER
SPOTLIGHT INDEX
Build a winning internal culture. Screen new employees well, systematize coaching time and incremental group training moments, and other team development strategies. Make service quality your core principle. Control spending. Take advantage of any good leadership self-development resources you can find. Identify the best solutions for specific problems you encounter and reach out for the help you need when you need it. .
