There are some dealers moving to that model, but I think most are still paid a commission. There is a minimum flat rate (they call it a “mini”) on sales with little profit built in, but I guarantee you there’s profit in most of the deals going out right now.

Many moons ago I welded full time. We had a job we ran using spray arc transfer MIG welding. Spray arc MIG is more intense than dip transfer because there is much less smoke to block the radiation.
