    Last time I tarped was a month ago in Mississippi. Took me about 3 hours. It was over 100 outside and 90% humidity. I worked for 10 minutes then had to sit in air conditioned truck, cool off and drink.

    the norm is more like $20-$25, some companies pay better like Melton $40, It it will vary industry wide but the norm for most company trucks is lower
