"We hired Levy for a large demo job and dirt removal. They showed up on time, worked hard, and completed the job faster than I expected. What impressed me most was how clean they left the site afterwards — no mess left behind. Great communication throughout. We'll definitely use them again for our next project. Price was very reasonable too."
"Great Service and Great Price! They continued working for 3 days to demolish three buildings and removed all the debris to dumpsters that I ordered. Then, they also came in with dirt to fill the whole backyard. Strongly recommended!"
"Would 100% use them again for rock or gravel needs. Levi was able to help with several gravel loads across different days and did a great job on the last day to help spread and level the last loads of gravel. He was also upfront about the price — no hidden or additional charges."
"Excellent service. Very personal. Used twice on two different projects. Going to use for the third. Highly recommended."
"Very prompt, reliable, and very responsive. We have used this company several times and couldn't be more happy with the service they have provided! Highly recommend!"
"We hired Brohez Trucking LLC to demo a detached garage and do some additional road work. Levi was friendly and professional. He quickly provided us with a quote and was able to start the work right away. We are very satisfied with the work they did, and their pricing is very fair. Highly recommend!"
"Does a fantastic job! I called Levi to handle a rock drive, and he was here within two business days. It took only a day to get it done. He is a great person to work with — very patient, kind, and a genuine person. I will definitely use his services again when the need arises. Thanks, Levi!"

Levi Brohez · Owner-Operator
I'm Levi Brohez. I own and run Brohez Trucking LLC — based right here in Mattoon, IL. When you call (217) 809-0779, you're getting me. Not a dispatcher, not a sales rep, not someone reading a script.
I started this outfit because central Illinois has plenty of contractors who treat excavation like a transaction — quote it, dig it, never see them again. That's not how I work. I walk every job before I quote it. I tell you straight what's reasonable and what isn't. And I run my own equipment, so the same person who looked at the job is the one running the bucket on it.
The crew and the iron — Komatsu PC150LC-6, JCB 8040ZTS, Takeuchi TL150, Cat 259D3, Cat D6N dozer, Volvo and Ford tandem dump trucks — handle excavation, demolition, land clearing, ponds and waterways, rock driveways, drainage tile, and just about anything else that takes real machines. Most weeks we're working somewhere within an hour of Mattoon — Decatur, Charleston, Effingham, Champaign, Shelbyville, Pana, and out toward Terre Haute.
Brohez Trucking LLC is fully insured — full liability and equipment coverage. Your property's protected before the first bucket goes in the ground. Certificate of Insurance available on request — just ask and I'll send it before we start.
If you've got a job and you want a straight number from someone who'll show up when he says he will, give me a call.
