Can you deliver a porta potty today?
Often, yes, 6 days a week. Same-day delivery is possible Mon–Sat when a truck and unit are free. We check routes while you are on the phone and confirm same-day before you pay. A rush charge may apply, and it shows on your quote first.
We reviewed 185 recorded calls from people renting porta potties in 2026 (172 reached a live conversation). 19% of callers (32 of 172) needed delivery today or tomorrow, many because another company never showed up.

Same-day delivery takes 6 steps. You call, we check a truck and unit, you get an itemized quote, you pay by card through a text link, the driver calls 30 to 60 minutes before arriving, and the unit is set. Most of the wait is the truck finishing its route.
| Step | What happens | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Call (972) 812-6200 between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, Mon–Sat | You |
| 2 | We check which truck and unit are free today | Us, while you hold |
| 3 | You get an itemized quote, with any rush charge listed | Us, by text or email |
| 4 | You e-sign and pay by card through the link | You |
| 5 | Driver calls 30 to 60 minutes before arriving | Driver |
| 6 | Unit set on your marked spot; you do not need to be home | Driver |
We cannot promise an exact arrival time, even on a same-day order. We confirm the day, and the driver's call gives you the heads-up.
What should I have ready when I call?
Have 6 things ready for a same-day call: the full address, the number of guests or workers, how long you need the unit, where it should go, the gate width if it goes in a backyard, and a card for payment. A standard unit needs a gate at least 48 inches wide.
| Have ready | Why we ask |
|---|---|
| Full address or a map pin | We match you to the nearest truck |
| Guests or workers | Sets the unit count; see our sizing guide |
| Rental length | One day, weekend, week, or 28-day cycle |
| Placement spot | Level, firm ground within about 15 feet of the truck |
| Gate width | 48 inches clear for a 43.5-inch unit |
| Card and a phone that gets texts | The quote and payment link come by text |
Is there a cutoff time for same-day delivery?
There is no fixed cutoff, because it depends on how full the trucks are that day. Calls before mid-morning have the best odds. Calls after early afternoon often roll to the next morning. Our phones run 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, so call when we open.
- Morning call: best chance at same-day.
- Midday call: possible if a truck is near you.
- Late-day call: we usually book you as an early stop next morning.
We tell you which one it is on the call, before you pay.
Is there an extra charge for same-day delivery?
Sometimes. A rush charge may apply when a truck has to leave its route for you. In the calls we reviewed, callers were quoted $75 to $250 for rush delivery. Ours, if any, is 1 separate line on the itemized quote before you pay, with nothing added later.
The most common complaint callers raised was an invoice higher than the quote. One caller's invoice came in about 15% over. Our quote lists the unit, rental period, delivery, pickup, servicing, tax and any rush charge. See the full cost guide.
Why do porta potty companies miss same-day deliveries?
Trucks get overbooked, the day was never confirmed, or nobody calls ahead. Many of our same-day callers had another vendor fail to show. Ask any company to confirm the delivery day, the unit width and the out-the-door total before you pay. The 5 questions below cover the usual failures.
| What went wrong | What to ask any company |
|---|---|
| Truck never came | "Is same-day confirmed, or just requested?" |
| Unit came during the party | "Can you drop it the day before?" |
| No call before arrival | "Will the driver call before arriving?" |
| Bill was higher than the quote | "Is this the out-the-door total?" |
| Unit could not fit through the gate | "How wide is the unit?" |

Can I get same-day delivery for a weekend event?
Saturday same-day delivery is possible when a truck is free. Sunday delivery is not, because we are closed Sunday. For a Sunday event, call by Saturday morning. About 1 in 3 event callers in our study had a Saturday or Sunday date, so weekend dates go fast. Book weekends by Wednesday when you can.

For a planned weekend, we drop Friday and pick up Monday at no extra cost. See how weekend rentals work.
What if same-day isn't possible?
If every truck is full, we book you as the first stop the next morning when that slot is open, and we tell you within about 1 minute on the call. Same-day orders can be cancelled free until the truck is dispatched. Meanwhile, ask a neighbor, church or nearby business about indoor restroom access.
- Next morning, first stop: we confirm it before you pay.
- Event is today? Shorten it or move food and drinks near indoor restrooms.
- Jobsite? Keep crews near a public restroom until the unit lands; see our jobsite toilet guide.
