We're going to do a tour of Route 66 later on this year, and I'm wary of driving kack-handed (i.e. on the right-hand-side of the road) when fifty years and millions of miles makes it instinctive for me to drive on the left.
So I've asked an American cobber if he'd take some time off work to drive us from one side to the other.
He's agreed, so that's all good; but I don't want to see him out of pocket to satisfy my whim, so I thought I'd compensate him for 'wages lost' . . . but how much is enough?

What's the average weekly wage in the States?

He's a labourer at the Ditch Witch plant in Perry Oklahoma, so what sort of take-home money would he be on per week?
I have absolutely no idea . . .
