You may be right. I've never been to Mexico. but it seems like getting murdered in a fancy resort happens frequentlyI would argue that the 'random smellies' in your neck of the woods are far more dangerous than the Mexican ones.
At least Mexico doesn't have hordes of methed out street zombies milling around.
Just the word "Tijuana" scares me about that story, much less the rest of it!
From what I think I know about your boys, and the mexican jungle, and random guys, I think this was a far riskier move!
Would you be interested in relocating?
At ISA, one speaker I saw was head of HR at steelart. She said that 96% of there hires that stay over a year are from employee referrals. They pick up all sorts, have a great waiter at dinner, tell him you're hiring. Have a fantastic drive thru operator, hand 'em a card. After the month, they call the new hire and referer in, and give them both $100.
That makes me nervous! I recently found two "experienced wrappers" in my area which gave me the impetus to bid on some vehicle wraps that I'd normally pass on.
No, but shops will charge that rate to make overhead, so once numbnuts gets wind that he's 'worth' that, he thinks he can make it. Go nuts, I'll even make you a sign that says 'willing to wrap whatever you have already designed, printed, laminated, and trimmed to fit.' Subtext: 'also willing to lose screws, drop parts, and tape the door handle on at nominal charge'
Is this for trade or personal. I'm looking to get into the wrap/install field by using subs.
I have used this to get wrappers in other locations. Avery and 3M definitely have a data base for installers. I know this is only useful for contractors but as damonCA21 said contract installers earn more and can pick and choose the jobs they will take. BTW I never pay by the hour for install. I pay square foot price or a per job set price. Hourly only gets discussed on removals.
That said, I feel your pain.
Just be aware... There are businesses listed on there, that maybe signed up for free 7 years ago. Since then, they have realized that installing product you have not produced is a pita, and will pass on you. For those who can produce it, they would rather focus on their own customers... Especially when good installers are hard to come by.
I'd call around for a monthly and multi month rental on these, include the trailer (as long as you can haul it) and see how much more you may be able to take on with that in tow.
