What is a good hourly wage for working at a scrap yard?

I've a mix of various skills.



Also, this is a pretty large, high volume yard. (~20 employees)

(Also, in re to other posts and the use of 'negotiate' .. I tend to use words pedantically. We negotiate things 100+ of times per day.)

I'm making more than 8.00 but wasn't expecting more than 11.00 (Because once this is set, in any amount, it's pretty much set in stone. I wanted a general idea of industry pay rates.) Negotiation in the sense that I could take it or leave it but I didn't want high expectations. Of course I'm not looking for an outrageous wage. I actually like the physical activity. An office job would certainly pay more but it would likely drive me to chew lead.
