#5 | From Pit to Profit with Andrew Saldana

In this episode, we sit down with Andrew from Saldana Excavating to break down what it really costs to turn raw material into a sellable product. From hauling and crushing to equipment overhead, we get into the numbers most people never think about and why “free material” is never actually free.

#4 | Down To Earth Dirtworks

Episode 4, we sit down with the crew from Down To Earth Dirtworks out of Willmar, MN. We get into how they got started, what it takes to run jobs day to day, and what bidding work really looks like when you’re still figuring it out. We talk equipment, GPS systems, taking chances on machines, and the shift from working for someone to building something of your own. Along the way, there’s plenty of jobsite stories, lessons learned the hard way, and a few situations that definitely didn’t go as planned.
