Free Excavator Operator Service Agreement

You punch through a marked utility line, and suddenly your $300k rig is parked while lawyers send cease-and-desist letters and charge you for environmental cleanup. That unexpected sewer pipe or massive subsurface rock formation is the difference between a quick payday and a catastrophic equipment claim.

Pro Contractor Tip

Always include a 'Differing Site Conditions' clause that immediately triggers a paid change order if you encounter obstacles not specified in the initial survey, shifting risk away from your shovel.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Excavator Operator, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
