Delivery and Setup
Portable Toilet Delivery and Setup: what it covers
Quick answer
Portable toilet delivery and setup in Memphis covers the truck run, the placement and the levelling of each unit. Midtown streets are tight and large riverfront sites are open, and each needs a different plan for truck access. The spot is agreed before the truck leaves, and this site makes no promise about delivery times.
Delivery is the part of the job that most often goes wrong on a tight street. A truck that cannot turn, a unit set on a slope or a spot that was never agreed will each cost the crew time and the customer goodwill.
Midtown streets are narrow and many have little curb room, while the riverfront sites are large and open but can be soft after rain. The plan for each is different, and the technician asks the questions before the truck is loaded.
The spot is agreed before the truck leaves, and the placement is confirmed on the phone. This site makes no promise about arrival times, since the traffic and the route change through the day. Call (888) 351-0294 to confirm the spot and the access.

Can a delivery truck reach a Midtown street?
Often, but the truck needs a place to stop beside the unit without blocking traffic. Midtown streets are narrow and many have little curb room, so the spot is checked on a map or a photograph before the truck is loaded.
A parked-car space is a common stop, and it works if the truck can pull in without blocking the lane. Where it cannot, the unit is moved to a lot.
Any lane closure or parking change on a city street is the city's decision, and it is checked before the day.
How do riverfront sites affect delivery?
The sites are large and open, but the ground can be soft after rain and the path from the road can be long. The truck route is planned over the firmest ground, and the unit is placed on a pad.
Riverfront events are shaped by the city plan, and the delivery route is set in the same plan.
Ask the site contact whether the ground has been wet in the last few days. Soft ground is a reason to bring a pad.
How long does delivery take?
This site makes no promise about delivery or arrival times, because the traffic and the route change through the day. The technician confirms the day and the window when the spot is agreed.
Ask for the window in writing rather than a fixed time. A window is more honest than a time the route cannot always meet.
A delivery that is held up by a closure is rebooked, and the caller is told as soon as the delay is known.
What should a caller check before a unit is delivered?
The spot, the access, the ground, the service days and the number to call if the spot changes. A caller who checks those before the truck leaves avoids most of the problems on the day.
Walk the spot yourself or send someone who knows the site. Check the gate, the slope and any overhead line near the spot.
Keep the spot clear of cars and materials on the day, so the truck can stop and the unit can be set.
Can a unit be moved after it is set?
Yes, if the spot is no longer right. The unit is moved by the crew on a visit, and the move is planned against the access and the ground. A unit that rocks or sits in water is moved first.
Ask the provider to confirm the move in writing, so the site contact knows where the unit is.
A move on a busy street is planned for a quiet window, and the city rules apply to any lane use.

Our process
How our portable toilet delivery and setup visit works
Confirm the access and the spot
The technician asks for the street, the gate and the spot, and checks the truck access on a map or a photograph. A spot that cannot be reached is changed before the truck is loaded.
Plan the truck route
The route is planned to the curb space the truck can use. On a tight Midtown street the truck may need to stop in a parked-car space, and the route is checked for that.
Deliver and place the unit
The unit is placed on the agreed spot, facing the way the caller asked. The crew does not place a unit on a spot that has not been agreed.
Level and check the unit
The unit is levelled on its pad and checked for the door, the vent and the sanitizer. A unit that rocks is moved before it is used.
Confirm the setup with the caller
The caller signs off the spot and the access, and the service days are confirmed. The site contact is given the number to call if the spot changes.

Shelby County
Why portable toilet delivery and setup is different in Shelby County and the Memphis tri-state area
Midtown streets are among the tightest access points in the city, and most deliveries there need a plan before the truck is loaded.
Large riverfront sites have room for a truck, but the path from the road can be long and the ground soft after the spring rains.
Parked cars on a residential block are the usual obstacle, so the spot is agreed with the residents where the unit sits on the street.

FAQ
Portable Toilet Delivery and Setup FAQs
Can you deliver to a tight Midtown street?
Often, if the truck can stop beside the unit without blocking traffic. The spot is checked on a map or a photograph before the truck is loaded.
What time will the unit arrive?
This site makes no promise about arrival times. The technician confirms the day and the window when the spot is agreed.
Do you need a permit to place a unit on the street?
Where the unit sits on a public street, the city rules apply. The caller checks the permit before the truck is booked.
What if the ground is soft on a riverfront lot?
A pad is used to keep the unit level, and the truck route is planned over the firmest ground. Tell the technician if the lot has been wet recently.
Can a unit be moved after it is set?
Yes, if the spot is no longer right. Ask the provider to confirm the move in writing so the site contact knows where the unit is.
What if the truck cannot get through the gate?
Tell the technician the gate width and any height limit when you book. A truck that cannot reach the spot is not sent until the access is agreed.
