I work for a utility and am one of our operators... Most of the time I use a small truck mounted bradco back hoe... also have a small crane truck, plate truck, and case 580 back hoe and several small case skid steers with back hoes, bore motors, or loaders..
Most of the time if we have a lot of back hoe work (trenching a few blocks) we just contract out the backhoe and dump services.. It is more economical that way since I always have my crew assistant with me.. it runs 170 per hour per crew.. contractor is cheaper...

Next door neighbor has an excavating business and been a dirt jockey since he was 13. I help him out after work and on the weekends.
Lotsa fun. Get to screw around on the hoe and dozer.
Run the skidsteer when its pile a to pile b or making rough grade backfilling.
Final buff capabilities is still a ways away for me.
My baby is running the plate packer.......allllllll mine......ha ha

I have my own backhoe.its a 72 case 680, its old but does good still.............I am crane certified , at work we have a new Grove 11T and a new 45T so lotsa work there....we have a very nice Cat shooting boom, 3 skid steers and all kinna attachments
I used to work in a coal mine and was a driller but also had some time on a 120ton Wabco haul truck........They have the big 340toners or whatever is the biggest now
I enjoy running equipment and have a natural instinct for them
