cammy12 176 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 For machines and fuel you need 15-20 an hour and depends if its a proper business or just a dude doing jobs for cash, if its a business you need the higher end of that scale to cover the hidden costs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
