This.

To the average concrete company drivers come a dime a dozen. I work on the other end of it. I'm an industrial carpenter. I'm certainly not complaining about the money I make but concrete drivers make laborer pay. We pay our green hands 17 dollars an hour. I make over 30. Imagine the quality of person that the concrete company could attract if they raised their driver pay another 5 dollars. What would that do to their turnover rate?
