Very true. I work for a sub of AT&T and often do "flagging" which is a shitty job but allows me to go to school. Anyways my company charges AT&T $50 an hour per flagger (there are always two) and $75 an hour for the truck (F-150). So it's $175 per crew an hour but the average flagger only makes $10 an hour.
