skid steer rates?

Price is not the only way to compete. Some people still care about quality. I regularly come in higher than other guys and get the job. At 35/hr you have to assume that a 17 year old is idling around the lot with a gp bucket taking naps behind the dumpster.

While I agree that what competitors are charging should be considered, you also have to consider if your what you need to be happy to do the job. If you want to charge $200 per hour but your equipment and your guys are going to be sitting around getting paid for nothing, you aren't helping anybody. Bottom Line: Be personable, responsive, and do a nice job for a reasonable rate and you'll stay busy.
