There are a lot of fly by night contractors out there that drive junk and their work is also junk.

Well sort of my point exactly...There's also a lot of people out there driving 40, 50, 60 thousand dollar "work vehicles" who need to pay for them. I've found most of them are not doing this by lowering their price much to be competitive. Many have a "this is what I get take it or leave it attitude" usually I leave it and find somebody else who truely wants my business. I'm not cheap actually just the opposite but don't like getting !@#$% either. I usually try to follow the 100 year old "rule" of throwing out the highest and lowest estimate. Usually works out for me, your mileage may vary.
