Equipment Setup – Fuel Usage Component

For contractors setting a price for estimating purposes for equipment is a daunting process at best. With the price of diesel dropping in the last few months consider if you have not done so developing your EOE based on a fuel usage per hour. Then it is an easy few keystrokes to change the prices for fuels for your current estimate. Equipment Watch has a fuel component in their calculations or you can consult the manufacturer’s manuals. Your operator of the piece of equipment probably has a good idea on the daily fuel consumption or your fueler  might.  Being able to adjust your fuel price can really impact the bid price so consider taking advantage of this HeavyBid feature if you are not already doing so.
