Danny, just curious as to how much a well qualified OP makes at a shop such as yours?
My press guys start @ 18/hr and once they start kicking ass that goes above 20/hr...... Seems like any lower then that and I just the shop hoppers or guys that "have experience"....... I'm getting to the point where I would prefer to hire guys with little to no experience within this industry as I've had some issues lately hiring people, teaching them a lot of what I know then they are gone to another shop using that as leverage to be paid more. Probably why I was stuck working until 3 am last night, I would rather do the crap myself then hire people that I cannot trust.... Sucks LOL

If I was single and in my 20's I would pick up and move now!
