Mobile Document Shredding: The name says it all

Authors: Sandra Pitts and Mark McKenna, Shred-Tech March 2003

Information: Everybody wants it, everybody needs it, and some even go so far as to steal it. Information contained in almost every business document potentially becomes a liability. Record storage facilities provide their clients with protection, access, retention, storage and disposal of their vital information. Many record storage facilities are recognizing that the disposal facet of the business can become a lucrative profit center and are complementing their revenue streams with on-site document destruction services.

But on-site shredding services are not limited to stored records. Many businesses rely on the services of on-site document shredding providers to insure their daily-generated information is protected, as well.

Mobile shredding entrepreneur, Dennis Booth, realized the need for secure document destruction when he started Mobile Document Shredding, Inc., in Apopke, Florida. Starting with one Shred-Tech Mobile Document Shredding system, Booth marketed his services through direct mailings, fax-blasts, cold calling, advertising and an aggressive sales staff. His business has grown exponentially in only a few short years. He has added another five trucks, for a total fleet of six vehicles, to accommodate this impressive growth.

Booth says "Shred-Tech's renowned reliability and extensive improvements in equipment technology have been a driving force in allowing us to operate more efficiently. Equipment advancements have enabled us to generate more revenue and have given us the ability to service more accounts in a shorter period of time." 

Recently-added GPS systems to improve route efficiency, along with operator-friendly and low- maintenance equipment, are paving the way to maximum productivity and maximum profitability. State-of-the-art weigh scales insure billing accuracy and patented automated bin-tippers, enable operators to service clients with ease and professionalism. Operators never need to touch the material throughout the entire process. Destruction can be witnessed via the industry's only camera and pull-down monitor system.

When asked about the future growth of his company, Booth replied, "I received my last truck a month ago and it is already fully booked. I feel as though we've just scratched the surface of a booming industry."
