[rehab] Seeking information on hiring readers and drivers

[Nancy Coffman]

In Nebraska, we contract with drivers. They are not full time, and get no benefits.

They work when they can, at the will of themselves in the agency. There is no set schedule. I believe we start them at $12 an hour, but I could be wrong. They get a raise after so many years.
