Georgia charge-out rates track Atlanta utilities, highway, and Savannah industrial work. The Southeast book is tighter than California and cheaper than New York. These USD ranges are fully loaded T&M, not wages. Excavator charge-out is the line most earthworks tickets live on. The book splits mini (3-5 ton), 20-ton / 320 class, 30-ton / 330 class, and 45-ton. Fuel is usually extra. Operated versus bare changes the number more than the region does. In Georgia, a excavator typically bills $160 /hr (range $135 to $180, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Florida sits at $160 /hr, and Alabama sits at $150 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
