Massachusetts hydrovac rates
Also called hydro vac, vac truck, daylighting truck. Rates by SubTrack.
Massachusetts charge-out rates follow Boston civil, utilities, and Worcester industrial. Union density and urban access push labor above the national median. These USD figures are public T&M ranges, not a PLA. 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 Massachusetts, a hydrovac typically bills $370 /hr (range $325 to $415, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, New York sits at $380 /hr, and Connecticut sits at $365 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
