You might have guessed by now we consider our sense of humor to be one of our top selling points. It all starts when a customer asks about our name, and when we tell them it stands for portable toilets delivered Pretty Damn Quick, they laugh.
It’s not every company that can boast our confidence and resilience, not letting it bother us when everyone laughs at our name. Jeez, it’s a wonder our ego isn’t totally in the toilet. On second thought, we guess it is in the toilet. And hey! We’re Pretty Damn Proud of it.
Here are some other things we’re Pretty Damn Proud of.
Jean Marks. Our dispatcher. Our customer ambassador. Our saving grace. Our customers get diarrhea of the mouth singing Jean’s praises, and while that’s really great for Jean, even we have to say that is not an attractive metaphor.
Our own water treatment plant that allows us to process waste on site. Sweet.
We respond 24/7. The need for portable toilets is like, well, the need for portable toilets. It’s always there. And so are we.
Take Super Bowl Sunday, 2006. The water main went out at a very famous, very jam-packed local ice house. Now that’s a lotta beer without an exit strategy, amigo. But we rescued that ice house with outhouses – Pretty Damn Quick. The proprietor tells us we were the only company in town he could get to come out.
Not only that, we were the first to respond in Beaumont following Hurricane Rita disaster relief – showing up with over 500 cans. So you see, Johnny on the spot has a serious, caring side – you just can’t always see it through that strong, steely exterior.
Hey, we could pull stories out of our ass all day long. But we’d rather you hear some things our customers say about us – not just crappy little customers, big impressive ones like major contractors, developers, and construction companies.
- “They don’t just talk the talk – they follow through and follow up.”
- “They’ve been providing service for us for quite a while, and I’d recommend them highly. Out of all of the rest, they do an excellent job.”
And one of our all-time favorites:
- “I was asked to give a quote about PDQ. I'm glad I wasn't limited in what I could say. I’ve conducted business with Jean for years. I’ve given several other companies a chance to compete with the price, service, and friendliness PDQ provides. But I haven't found any other company that has a reasonable price, good service, and a staff willing to help me like PDQ. I can't say enough good things about Jean in dispatch. I just call her up, give her the information, and I know the chemical toilets will be on the jobsite the next day. I can bet money on it. If there’s a problem, I just call Jean and she corrects it, even calls me back to tell me what I can expect to take place. Jean is a jewel and works very hard to keep us happy. Each department from dispatch, billing, and on up the chain of command, works with me in a friendly yet professional manner. I would recommend PDQ for any of your chemical toilet needs. You will have a pleasant experience as I have. Everyone is treated in a friendly and caring manner. If you need chemical toilets, PDQ is the company you will want to use.”
Excuse us. We have to go to the bathroom for a good cry!
