Utah Hauling Contractors

Hiring a Hauling Contractor in Utah

Buildermuse currently lists 10 hauling contractors in Utah, averaging 4.5 stars across 301 verified Google reviews. Every firm listed clears the 4.0-star bar, and with ratings this close together, review volume is the better tiebreaker — a 4.6 backed by hundreds of reviews usually beats a 5.0 with a dozen. Most of the crews above operate out of Salt Lake City, Aurora, and Ogden.

Utah requires licensing for all construction work. DOPL oversees all contractor classifications. Over 40 specialty classifications available. Confirm credentials with the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) at (801) 530-6628 before work begins. Licenses renew on a two-year cycle (birth month of even/odd years). Expect a $260 state application fee. At a minimum, ask for proof of $300,000 in general liability coverage and active workers' comp.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Utah market sets the floor: construction workers here average $32.95 an hour — about $68,536 a year — across 141,464 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
