I have been curious to know how much one of those things must cost. I see them used from time to time for over 100 grand, so they must be closer to 400K when new, I'm guessing.

No way. I could sell about everything I own and still come up short. I'm not even sure what I'd use it for. Maybe one job every 10 years.
 
All jokes aside, I worked for a well respected and very cautious EC in CT when I was a apprentice and did jobs where I was anywhere from 120' on a window washer scafold to 60' foot atriums. Other crews did Stadium Lighting at Westconn 80' or so. If there was a law, code, or rule about High Pay this EC would have automaticly put it in our pay. No questions asked. Out of 20 guys at the time only about 4 of us were'nt afraid of hights so we did those jobs. No high pay was ever mentioned. I belive it is a prefrence.

P.S. Mdshunk, I would pay to go up in a truck like that at a fair or somthing. Thats awsome!!!!

Not to be the "one-upper" but in my younger day I spent some time on wind turbines. No high-time pay but an experience none the less. I didn't mind the heights but the sway in the wind got old.
