摘要：	Industrial plant waste is Space City Services' business-boosting treasure. The Texas-based bulk carrier began hauling waste in 2015 to balance its cyclical finished products activities, provide a value-added service for customers, and keep its drivers on the road. It diversified to offer waste container leasing and transportation through the acquisitions of Superior Waste Solutions, TIBC Rentals and Transportation's bulk services division, and Industrial Waste Solutions, all in the last three years. Waste hauling now accounts for 60% of the operation-and equipment rental is Space City's fastest-growing segment. "It's different," said Robert Thomas, Space City president, who founded the company as a flatbed carrier in 2000 and transitioned to liquid bulk in 2009. "Most bulk carriers in Houston offer one service. They haul whatever product they haul day in and day out, and that's given us an advantage. These plants produce waste every day. They don't shut down, they keep running 24 hours a day, and they're always creating some amount of waste, whether it goes to a landfill or a recycling facility. So, we thought, when the economy ebbs and flows, waste would be a way we could keep working and maintain an upward trajectory." The carrier's launch plan is working to perfection.
