About Millers Excavating Inc

The land around Oskaloosa rolls more than most people expect from Kansas, low ridges and creek draws that catch the wind and can drift a farm lane deep in a single night. Millers Excavating Inc works those lanes after dark and again before sunrise if the storm keeps coming, running excavating equipment built for moving earth, not just snow, so a half-mile drive to the county road never stays the obstacle it looks like from the porch. The night work finds its own rhythm — headlights, diesel exhaust hanging in cold air, a blade cutting down to gravel one pass at a time. Past midnight, with Perry Lake country lying dark and silent to the south, the last driveway of the night opens onto a clean road, and the job stops feeling like labor and starts feeling like a favor done for a neighbor. By the time the sun actually comes up over the fields, most of Jefferson County can already get where it's going.
