It's a construction company that's fairly well-regarded here, so standards are very high. You're required to own about $800 worth of tools to work there, and you must have "reliable transportation." Since you're sometimes required to "transport" building materials, the "transportation" basically means "you must own a full-size pickup." When you get hired, they stick their company's logo on the door of your own truck--and it's not a magnetic sign. And they pay $10 per hour--which, in the context of Fayettenam (the home of the $8/hour carpenter) isn't that bad.

Now! $800 worth of tools and $5000 worth of truck to make $10 per hour. Would you pay for your own piss test now?
