JDC and Vacuum Truck Rentals Merge to Form Rentix Solutions—The Specialty Equipment Partner Built for Every Job
Combined Platform Brings Together 36+ Locations, 3,200+ Rental Fleet Units, and 50+ Years of Specialized Expertise
Richland, MS – July 6th, 2026 – JDC (formerly known as Jack Doheny Companies) and Vacuum Truck Rentals (VTR) today announced their merger to form Rentix Solutions, a national specialty rental platform serving the specialty equipment needs of water and sewer, electric utility, and environmental customers across the United States.
The formation of Rentix Solutions brings together two companies built on the same foundation: specialized equipment expertise, specialty rental capability, and mission-critical service, and an unwavering commitment to keeping customers’ operations running. JDC, founded in 1973, has spent 50 years building one of the most respected specialty equipment platforms in the country. VTR, the largest commercial vacuum truck rental company in the United States, has built its reputation on 24/7 availability and the operational depth to be there whenever customers need them — a standard that has earned their trust for more than 25 years.
Rentix Solutions will be led by Chief Executive Officer Payton Lockey, who brings deep operational experience in specialty equipment and a leadership approach built on customer focus, operational excellence, and team culture.
“This is a merger of two great companies — and that is exactly how we are approaching it. We are bringing together the best of both organizations — two specialty rental companies — to build something stronger than either of us was alone. Our customers, our teams, and our vendors will all benefit from what we are creating together.”
— Payton Lockey, Chief Executive Officer, Rentix Solutions

The Equipment That Gets the Job Done
Rentix Solutions’ specialty fleet is built for the work that cannot wait and cannot fail. Key equipment categories include:

Same Teams. Same Equipment. Stronger Together.
For existing JDC and VTR customers: nothing changes in how you are served. Your contacts remain your contacts. Your equipment remains available. Your service relationships continue.
