Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
I never tried Labor Ready, and the main reason was the sales pitch I received from the Labor Ready rep -

She told me about how I would have to pick many of them up at their facility or at their homes, because they didn't have valid drivers licenses and wouldn't be able to get to our shop or jobsite. And that some of them would have monitoring anklets on. And that some of them, after receiving their first check, wouldn't be seen again for a week or so (until the money ran out). This all came from a Labor Ready rep.

It was enough for me to decide to go in another direction. Maybe it's different in your market or it's different now that several years have gone by since I looked into that option.

I wish you luck, as it's no fun losing a right-hand person.
