S.C. Ballard
Driving Wastewater Solutions, Anytime, Anywhere

For more than 25 years, S.C. Ballard has provided dependable trucking and transportation services, specializing in sectors where efficiency, safety, and operational continuity are paramount. Over that time, the company has developed particular expertise in wastewater transportation, treatment, and disposal, while also serving agriculture and construction industries with end dump and bulk cement hauling along with a management and operations team whose deep industry experience drives safety, efficiency, and reliability.

What began in 2000 with a single truck dedicated to hauling wastewater has since grown into a diversified fleet of over 60 trucks and more than 150 trailers, operating seven days a week across multiple states. This steady expansion reflects the company’s capacity to address complex logistical demands and its enduring commitment to customer service and regulatory compliance.

Today, the company offers an integrated suite of solutions that drive operational efficiency and reliability. Its core services include wastewater transportation, treatment, and disposal; bulk cement and aggregate hauling; roll-off and tanker operations; on-site facility support and comprehensive full-service maintenance and body shop solutions.

“From tankers and roll-offs to dump trailers, our fleet is equipped to meet a wide range of requirements across multiple states, supported by specialized permits for waste transportation and compliance-driven operations,” says Scott Ballard, managing member of S.C. Ballard.

Tailored Support for Uninterrupted Operations

S.C. Ballard’s approach goes far beyond transportation. The company partners with wastewater incineration facilities, disposal sites, and rail operators to ensure clients maintain operations even during breakdowns or capacity shortages. The team frequently stages trailers, arranges alternative disposal points, and provides on-site assistance with loading, unloading, and facility management and redesign.

Its commitment to adaptability and service excellence has earned recognition from long-term partners. “We applaud S.C. Ballard for their Top Liquid Wastewater Transportation Service Award 2025,” says Pat Rimkoski, Customer Retention Manager, Synagro Technologies, Inc., North America’s leading provider of sustainable solutions for biosolids, organics, and residuals. “S.C. Ballard has been an exceptional partner to Synagro for more than 25 years, hauling municipal wastewater and water residuals. They have consistently provided reliable and superior service to support our operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Their willingness and ability to provide versatile and dependable service in the face of fluctuating scheduling requirements has been proven throughout our lengthy partnership.”

This problem-solving focus has proven critical during unexpected disruptions. For instance, when a major U.S. city lost access to a local incinerator, S.C. Ballard collaborated with a rail operator and an incineration partner to help the city design and implement an entirely new wastewater management system. The city transitioned from liquid hauling to sludge handling, with waste transported by rail for disposal, a first-of-its-kind operation. By consolidating 10 tanker loads into a single rail container, the system increased efficiency, reduced risk, and created a more resilient long-term solution.

The company’s capabilities also include equipment preparation and operational support. Services such as trailer lining, tarping, and loader deployment are part of a comprehensive package designed to maximize efficiency and keep clients’ systems running continuously. At facilities that process wastewater around the clock, S.C. Ballard ensures equipment is ready and container swaps are handled seamlessly, keeping operations running without interruption.

Operational Excellence Backed by In-House Resources

At the core of S.C. Ballard’s success is its dedicated team, operating 24/7, 365 days a year across Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, the Carolinas, and throughout New England.

Drivers, mechanics, and office personnel are available at all times to manage reroutes, address equipment issues, and make scheduling adjustments. Many employees have been with the company for over 20 years, bringing unmatched expertise and institutional knowledge that allows them to address problems quickly and effectively.

Importantly, all operations are handled in-house, from dispatch and logistics management to mechanical services, ensuring reliability, accountability, and faster problem resolution. To support this round-the-clock operation, the company operates a full-service mechanical facility and body shop capable of everything from routine maintenance to complete engine rebuilds and equipment refurbishments.

With new tankers, roll-off systems, and rail-compatible equipment, the fleet is positioned to adapt to shifting transportation models, including the increasing use of rail for wastewater movement out of the Northeast. S.C. Ballard is also actively bidding on new projects, reflecting confidence in its capabilities and recognition of emerging opportunities.

The company embodies the experience, adaptability, and technical expertise that industries rely on to manage critical logistics. With decades of experience, a modern and versatile fleet, and a staff committed to 24/7 customer support, S.C. Ballard ensures that wastewater and waste logistics will continue uninterrupted.
