While operators are likely aware of just how complex and highly technical vacuum trucks are, they may not know which one is right for their purposes. Truck Service of Virginia will help you get the vacuum truck that’s fit for your needs. Essential for many operations, vacuum trucks feature heavy-duty vacuum systems that load sludge, liquids and other debris through suction lines. From septic tank cleaning and emergency cleanup to hydro excavation and hazardous waste removal, vacuum trucks serve many critical functions. There’s a lot to consider in choosing a vacuum truck. Its effectiveness will vary based on the amount of air the truck moves through the pump (this is measured in cubic feet per minute, or CFM). Further, there are two types: fan-cooled and liquid-cooled. Their efficiency will vary. At Truck Service of Virginia, we take pride in helping our customers find the vacuum truck that’s right for them. We sell customized vehicles to make certain your truck has the ideal combination of drive systems, pumps, baghouses and more. Don’t settle for something less than perfect. Get started by taking a look at our vacuum truck inventory page. Then request a quote online today!...

It’s another way TSVA gives work truck operators the tools to get the job done right!

Not only is Truck Service of Virginia the perfect provider of new vehicles for fleet operators who are particular about their trucks – we’re also the perfect provider of repair and inspection services for the fleets themselves! To highlight just one example of the work we do, TSVA is a U.S. Department of Transportation-registered testing facility for cargo tanks. Cargo tanks must undergo hydrostatic tests and an internal inspection every five years. The tanks must also have an annual external visual inspection and leakage test. These tests need to be performed by a DOT-approved service facility to ensure compliance with federal guidelines. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the most common cargo tank manufacturing violations are inadequate overturn protection, insufficient rear-end protection, improperly attached accident damage protection devices, inadequate structural integrity, and welds not in conformance with ASME Code. TSVA has DOT-qualified cargo tank inspectors on site and is well-equipped to address these violations as well as all federal cargo tank requirements. If a cargo tank fails any of the tests or inspections it must be repaired and retested before it can be returned to service. We perform the following DOT-mandated inspections and tests: External Visual Inspection (Annually) Leakage Test (Annually) Internal Visual Inspection (Every five years) Pressure Test (Every five years) Thickness Test (Every two years) Upper Coupler Inspection (Every five years) And More Of course, as a full-service repair facility, we do much more than cargo tank inspections and repair. Our comprehensive services also include maintenance and repair of truck cranes, cabs, chassis, and truck tanks. Truck Service of Virginia also provides certified R Stamp welding repairs on tanks, under authorization from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
