Does distance matter for excavation work?
6 of the 13 contractors are based in Salt Lake City, 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.
