Does distance matter for excavation work?
4 of the 15 contractors are based in Poughkeepsie, and the others reach it from within 15 mi. Machines travel on trailers, and moving them is charged as mobilization, so a firm from further out may add that cost while a closer one absorbs it. Ask how it is billed.
