We at RCE know and understand that other companies can make Flagging a thankless job that leaves you out of the loop at times.
RCE doesn't leave its Flaggers out of the loop. We believe in full transparency when it comes to job details, pay rates and what is expected from and for you.
With that in mind, here are our current pay rates.
RCE Traffic Control pays
$16.50 an hour for regular flagging
An extra pay for sign sets (any flaggers driving company truck)
$23.50 an hour for TCS jobs
We also will have occasional prevailing wage jobs for those who have earned their chance at them.
RCE DOES NOT provide transportation to and from work sites.
This being said, having your own vehicle will benefit you as a dependable flagger.
Each flagger is responsible for their own transportation. Being a flagger includes the ability to go to multiple work sites, being able to get to meeting spots and then work sites, as well as being able to go to new work sites at a moment's notice. This is quite difficult and sometimes impossible if you rely on a friend/family member for transportation.
Limited transportation can lead to limited jobs and hours.
We are constantly needing reliable Flaggers, so don't limit yourself because we won't limit you on opportunities!
