Quick answer · Updated November 12, 2026
A hydrovac truck with a CDL operator and a labor hand usually runs $2,500 to $3,000 for a 12-hour day in the Permian Basin, timed from the yard and back. Longer days bill hourly past 12 hours. Jobs that need a truck every working day can go on a flat monthly rate instead. Call or text (940) 452-6716 for a quote on your job.
The day rate covers the truck, the operator and the hand. Water is filled at stations near your job, so you are not paying to haul it across the basin.
What moves the price: how far the job is from our Midland or Big Spring yards, how long the day runs, and whether the spoil has to be hauled off or can be backfilled on site. Short jobs can be billed by the hour.
If you run a hydrovac most days, our Dedicated Hydrovac Program puts the same truck and crew on your jobs every working day for one monthly rate, which costs less than calling one out day by day.
Send a pin and what needs to be exposed and we will give you a number before the truck rolls.
