I could hire a hundred operators today at minimum wage but I have to look long and hard to find someone who will show up when they say they will, be sober and well rested, leave their cell phone and ipod in their truck, be willing to do things the way I want them done, and be able and willing to work efficiently for a full day. Those people are rare and rarely looking for work.
