Transporting portable waste tank

We'll have to transport the tote a few highway miles to the dump station so pulling behind the truck isn't an option.



I'm planning to use a portable waste tank and wanted to know what methods are being used to either fill the tank beside the trailer and somehow get this heavy tank into the pickup. For example ramps up to the tailgate.
Or using a Flojet and filling the tank while it's in the truck bed.


Thanks
Dave

Well, that depends on how heave the TOTE TANK is..... Meaning how many gallons you putting in it. My tote tank is 28 gallons and my son and I can both pick it up.

my tote is 42 gal. I use a macerator pump to pump up into the tote in the back of the truck.

That would be one heavy tote! I'm steering toward the macerator idea.
