Fuel costs are massive and variable
Excavators, dump trucks, compactors — fuel costs on a busy week can run thousands of dollars. Tracking per job is essential.
Machine hours need to be billed accurately
Under-billing equipment hours is a common margin killer. Track machine time per job and make sure it's captured in your costs.
Disposal and tipping fees are often missed
Dump fees, tipping charges, and haul-off costs are real job expenses that often don't make it into P&L calculations.
