    ... About 1 hour half shod hot all four loading not in no big hurry if its got extras a little longer I'm happy with 600 a day if working by myself with help a little more...I go off a profit margin rather how many can be done .. if its half shoes or trims we do how many it takes to hit that margin...some days we make a little more or little less ...I have help 3 days a week and he works on his own two days and I work on my own those two also..

    That would be $28-56 on a trim and $63-142 on a set. Round me it's probably $25-55 on a trim and $65-200 on a set

    Not much different than here in how wide of price gaps...I would have never guessed that ... Here I see why price has wide gap ..due to training and how well of a job each does ..cost of living..among other factors.. I was under the impression where smitty is all the training was highly regulated and all had the same training and had a lengthy apprenticeship and that would keep prices pretty close to the same ...

    14 sets in 9 hours.
    9 hours is 540 min so that makes a set every 38 1/2 min and there's no time for travelling, lunch, pee, anything included in that.
