Should you tip freight delivery drivers?

[BigJamesProp [JU]]

So when ordering things that are too big for UPS and get delivered by freight drivers, is that guy expecting a tip? It's never a question with UPS/FedEx/etc. because they're already gone before you can even answer the doorbell. But a freight driver has to actually cart the damn thing out of the truck, wheel it into the garage and get a signature. Does he normally get a tip?

This is why the entire concept of tipping just sucks.

no.

 

[GoldenJeeper [JU]]

No. He's doing his JOB, which he is already compensated for by his employer.

 

[Stormchaser [JU]]

Nope

 

[Taggart [JU]]

No, he's not working for you, he's working for the shipper.

 

[ArizonaJeeper [JU]]

if he looks like a hard worker and doesn't complain i might offer them a coke or something on a hot day. nothing more.

The truck drivers who show up for LTL or full trailers out here we'll offer soda or something.

[Qckslvr [JU]]

for as much truck frieght we see here, we would be broke if we gave em all a tip every day.

 

[ToomsTJ [JU]]

Depends on what they deliver and how far they go...I was dating a guy who had an engine delivered and the guy brought it into the garage, checked it and went above and beyond...he tipped him $20.

 

[ben [JU]]

No.

If it's a good guy, he doesn't whine, offers to help carry into my garage...then hell ya. It's hard to find good help these days.
