About Vac Hotline
The free network for any vacuum truck.
Vac Hotline exists to make finding the right vacuum truck simple. You describe your job one time, we send it to several qualified service providers near you, and they send you quotes directly. No phone marathon, no markup, and no cost to you. Our mission is to remove the barriers between the people who need a vac on site and the providers who run them.
Our story
One request reaches the whole network
Sourcing a vacuum truck has always been harder than it should be. The work spans nine very different machines, every service provider covers a different patch of the map, and the only way to compare options used to be a string of phone calls. Vac Hotline replaces that with a single request.
We are a free network that connects people who need any type of vacuum truck with qualified service providers across virtually the entire United States and Canada. Whether the job calls for a hydrovac, a combo truck, an air vacuum, a hydro excavator, a hi-rail unit, a liquid ring, a liquid vacuum, a standard vacuum truck, or a hydrovac trailer, one request puts it in front of several providers who run that exact equipment near your site.
We do not own trucks, we do not dispatch crews, and we never quote you ourselves. We are the connection layer: the fastest way to get your job in front of the service providers best suited to do it, so their quotes come to you instead of you chasing them down.
No catch
Why it's free, and how that works
Vac Hotline is completely free for the people who use it. We never charge you to submit a request, and we never charge you to receive quotes. There is no membership, no fee to unlock contact details, and no obligation to hire anyone.
We are just as clear with service providers. We take no commission on the work you book and no per-lead fee for sending a job their way. The price you and a service provider agree on is entirely between the two of you. Nothing is marked up, and nothing is skimmed off the top.
The platform is funded the same way a trade publication is: through sponsorships and advertising from companies that want to reach people booking vacuum trucks. That is what keeps the lights on, so the matching itself can stay free for everyone on both sides.
The model is built on the philosophy behind 811, the “call before you dig” line. That service works because it removes a barrier instead of adding one. We apply the same idea to sourcing vacuum trucks: take the friction and the cost out of finding the right service provider, and more of the right jobs reach the right trucks.
How the network works
From one request to a booked service provider
One job, sent once, reaches several service providers best suited to do it. A single-truck owner and a national fleet show up side by side, so you can choose on price, equipment, and availability.
- 1
You describe the job once
One short request captures the location, timeframe, and the kind of work you need. It takes about 30 seconds, and the equipment type is optional if you are not sure.
- 2
Several providers near you get it
We send your request to several established vacuum truck service providers who serve your area and run the right truck for the work, from a single-truck owner to a national fleet.
- 3
They quote you directly
Those service providers reach out with their own pricing and availability. We never quote you ourselves. Nothing is marked up, and the price you agree on is between you and the provider you pick.
- 4
You compare and book
Line up the quotes you receive, pick the provider that fits, and book. There is no obligation to hire anyone, and you only talk to the providers you want to.
Part of the Hydrovac Hotline network
The same trusted network, every vac type
Vac Hotline is built on the Hydrovac Hotline network, the established service that has been connecting customers with hydrovac service providers across North America. Hydrovac Hotline proved the model: a free, no-commission way to get a job in front of qualified service providers and let the quotes come back to you.
Vac Hotline extends that same trusted network to every other kind of vacuum truck. The service providers, the coverage, and the no-cost, no-commission promise carry over, so the people who need a combo truck, an air vacuum, a liquid ring, or any other vac get the same straightforward experience that hydrovac customers already rely on.
