We have a low level connection we attach to now. Built into the tank. Low level on one side and hard suction directly into the other.
We use this when there is no hydrant available one tank has a float switch so the shut off when there full . Just plug it in to a spicket it fills up then pumps in to our truck. It’s cheep . And it works great. Takes about 5 minutes to move from one location to another
Most decent sized rental companies have water trucks for rent. Know United does here. Not too bad usually.
Or just rent a truck for for a day, put a couple of $80 totes in it and use your sludge pump to pump over to trailer tank.

Why can’t you have tanker trucks at the location?
There are also closed tank systems…
Sometimes we do have larger tanker trailers dropped off on site, but we have some mountain side locations we can’t get bigger than a 2000 gallon straight truck in, so no trailer drop off. We need a total of about 3000 gallons for these jobs, and our own trucks max out at 1100 gallons capacity. Kind of a unique situation, but we have enough of them to look for a portable tank solution.
