[QUOTE="Idoitall, post: 7503, member: 836"] If you get stiffed, I think you just have to ask yourself how much is it worth to you (not just dollars) to potentially collect from the guy. If its a few hundred you can just hope he pays and continue to contact him. If its several thou$and, then you may want to pursue the lawyer, Small Claims Court, Lien, etc. As much as you might like to, making threats or breaking knees is usually not a good option these days!! Many large equipment operators such as dozer, track-hoe, etc., have minimums, like 4 hr. or so, to even bring their equipment to the job site. This I understand because of the cost of the relocating the machine. I don't know if this is customary or not with a skid steer since they can be easily moved with a large pickup, 1 ton flat bed, etc. This said, it still doesn't mean they will get paid. Right now I have a local hauler dumping 150 loads of fill dirt for me from a nearby road project. The dirt is free because it is saving him 10-15 miles per load. He brought a small dozer on site and is charging me for leveling work, but thats it. Just a handshake agreement between two guys. [/QUOTE]
