Disclosed is a construction equipment driving control method for controlling machine driving without using an additional straight driving pedal. According to the present invention, the construction equipment driving control method is applied to construction equipment comprising: right and left driving operation devices; a controller; right and left driving motors; right and left forward driving proportional solenoid valves; right and left backward driving proportional solenoid valves; and a setting means for setting the function for moving a machine forward or backward by the operation of the driving operation device, and the method comprises: a first step for moving the machine forward or backward by controlling the right and left driving motors correspondingly to the operation amount of operation pedals if one operation pedal among the driving operation devices is operated after a mode is converted into an activation mode by the operation of the setting means; and a second step for driving or converting, in
