History
A paradox in motion - our past entwined with our future - driven with the determination to: 1Be the best at what we do 2Do only what we do well
The Maintenance Era
Benny's Maintenance was modestly started by an old curmudgeon some 30 years ago as a truck maintenance facility. Like the ugly Gila Monster, he has never let loose of anything he grabbed. We are still a truck maintenance company. We built the infrastructure then, and we still have the ability to provide every service from oil changes to over-hauls to our own trucks and those of a select clientel.
The Trucking Era
Over the years Benny owned and operated
several trucking companies in addition to the maintenance business. He operated
large and small trucks both interstate and intrastate. We are still a trucking
company having mastered the complexities to provide nearly same day service
to literally several thousand customers over a growingly wider area of Southern
California. We still include several of the same people as our associates
today.
The Oil Filter Recycling Era
Benny started the oil filter recycling business in 1993 with himself as
his only
customer
because he received a citation complete with a $10,000 fine for disposing of
truck filters in the trash. The complexities and the legalities
replete with demands for computerization and mechanization
ensued.We are still a filter recycling company serving many of the same customers
we served when we started.
The Greasweep Era
Filters begot oil which begot a big mess which begot Greasweep.Again as our
own best customer, Benny evolved into one of the most significant Greasweep
distributors on the West Coast. The demise of Greasweep was catastrophic
for us because we viewed it as the best absorbent on the market. We are still
an absorbent distributor of some significance. The opportunities are even
greater as are the challenges, but exciting things are on the horizon.
The Hazardous Waste Era
Consistent with our past to be the best at what we do, we became
fully licensed hazardous waste transporters. In keeping with our desire to
do only what we do well, our activities were confined to only solid waste
from indusries with uncomplicated waste streams. We have again grown in knowledge
and affiliations to rxpand into some liquid wastes from industries requiring
considerably more sophistication. This area of our business continues to
receive significant attention with greatly increased capability on the near
horizon.
The Ben-Zorb Era
Having endured the demise of Greasweep,and the continuing need to
be an absorbent company, we are reaching farther afield. Our embrace of Zeolite
makes us much more and has lead to affiliations with others to enhance the
skills and capabilities to maximize the opportunity. Stay tuned for exciting
developments in the very near future.
Our Future
We continue to be a paradox, an enigma, a puzzle, and a contradiction. W
continue to be like the ugly Gila Monster never letting go of what we grab.
We promise
you to continue to be the best at what we do, and to do only what we do well.
Today, we are not only Benny. We are the same as we have been, but we are
much more. We are also a going Jenny !!!
