Georgia heavy equipment operator rates
Heavy equipment operator charge-out is the labor line that rides with the iron. It is not the machine rate. OT and shift premiums belong on the rate sheet, not in a public median. In Georgia, the heavy equipment operator central reference is $80 USD/hr (range $70 USD to $90 USD, as of 2026-08). That figure is a reference estimate for labor charge-out. Nearby-book checks: Florida central reference $80 USD/hr, and Alabama central reference $75 USD/hr. These are public reference figures, not a quote. Bill the rate on the signed project sheet.
