Manitoba hydrovac rates
Also called hydro vac, vac truck, daylighting truck. Rates by SubTrack.
Manitoba rates follow Winnipeg commercial work and northern hydro and mining support. Winter freeze-up and long hauls into the north show up in equipment more than in a city laborer line. These are CAD charge-out ranges for T&M tickets. Hydrovac charge-out is a two-person crew and the truck, billed by the hour. Daylighting, potholing, and winter thaw work all use this line. 2026 standard combo-truck quotes sit roughly $275–$400/hr in the US; this book is a blended T&M range, not an emergency call-out. Disposal and water are often extra. In Manitoba, a hydrovac typically bills $355 /hr (range $305 to $400, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Saskatchewan sits at $360 /hr, and Ontario sits at $375 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
