I don't know the wages, but from what I saw as far as age & condition of the trucks and equipment, you will for sure be needed, if not alone, for the general public's safety, and maybe your own. I've seen a few Mack Trucks over the years, without hoods, others, without doors, and the list goes on. There's plenty of construction and extremely rapid increases in property values. I have a couple of 30 some yr old ,parts backhoes, that would be working if in DR. Not to bust any bubbles, but, in Sosua area, you can get about 30 laborers( haitians ) , for a day, for the same amount of a days rental , here in the states.
