Most companies that I've dealt with lately have a minimum charge just to mobilize their equipment to your site - ( average $250 ). Then I get charged anywhere from $75 - $95 per man hour for them to operate. I know this going into a job and I can get fairly close on how long it will take them. Then I add a few hours or x amount of dollars for that always lingering situation that might bite my behind. An experienced operator can get a bunch of work done in one hour with the right machine so I feel those prices are fair.
It might look better on the estimate if you didn't itemize the rental, p/u or delivery & estimated extra operator hours. Just detail the work to be done and give them one price. It also helps if you have an idea what other companies would charge YOU for the same job. It doesn't hurt to get an extra quote or 2 so you know what an average should be.
