I'm looking to see what common practice is when using an excavator and tandem dump truck onsite with 1 operator. Currently I'm charging $105/hr for an EX60-5, and $105/hr for the tandem dump truck individually. I charge a little more for the tandem as it works almost exclusively on a small island that has rugged roads and lots of steep switchback roads and killer driveways. Not to mention the poor back roads to the local gravel pit... So when I charge for using both machines onsite, what would be a fair rate? I don't want to overcharge, but I want a chair to sit on when the music stops so to speak. A particular job that involved many tandem loads likely overweight and in a ravine to excavate for a new concrete stair case. Soil was moved onsite.
Any thoughts?
Should I charge per tip or include an hourly rate for both machines?
I was thinking around $155/ hr for both machines, both of which were worked hard on this particular job.
Thanks
