She helps customers with some of their most challenging site service issues, and she answers your questions here on our website.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great question because it\u2019s one people are often curious about. You might already know, ZTERS is essentially a waste broker, which means we work with haulers all over the country to schedule the right services for our construction and event customers. Our network of local haulers is pretty extensive, especially because we\u2019ve been doing this for more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing we like to mention is what sets us apart in the industry. We\u2019re a family-run company and we work personally with a lot of local, small businesses as well as major regional and nationwide haulers. We develop relationships with all kinds of businesses to make sure they\u2019re top-quality servicers. In fact, we even have a team dedicated to our hauler relationships. We want everyone to be successful and have a positive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, there is a method to the madness. We\u2019ve developed a proprietary ranking system over the years that measures things like reliability, service quality, and pricing. Being the cheapest is not always the best, especially if reliability is a problem! We strive to make sure all our customers get the best service possible, so we work with waste haulers who provide consistently reliable deliveries and maintenance. And we\u2019ve gotten to know many of our haulers as friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, our goal is to make sure everyone wins \u2013 from great service to ongoing business relationships. Isn\u2019t that what it\u2019s all about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve grown over the years, so has our network. We\u2019re coming up on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zters.com\/service-areas\/\">almost 15,000 vendors in our hauler network<\/a>, and that number continues to grow. Being in business this long, and with this size of a network, we know where to go when a challenging request comes in. We know who to call when there\u2019s a storm-related shortage, or when a last-minute delivery request comes in, or even when a customer needs service in a remote area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope that answers your question! The bottom line is we look at many factors, and we\u2019ve developed a data-based system, to find the most reliable waste haulers nationwide. If you have other questions, or if you want to know \u201chow the sausage is made,\u201d drop us a line through social media or email. Thanks for your question!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angela Phillips is a Senior Account Manager III at ZTERS.
