Do concrete mixer drivers usually get tips, or only pretty girls?

    Let's say getting tipped were common, what are you going to do differently to get tipped?
    As a general rule, chasing down every rumor or unusual event to see if it's true is a losing strategy, especially when social media makes creating fake stories easy. If something is true more than one person will be experiencing it and reports of the unusual event will not ONLY come from the 1 person getting the benefit. The UFO people work hard to get their version of the event into all of the media while the truth of the event only comes out over years in the local press or during the deposition of a participant 9 years later.

    Did you know Gullible is the only word not printed in any English dictionary? Why do you suppose that is? Who benefits?

    This from my Random House Websters Dictionary. I suppose you were testing how gullible those who read your post are?

    She's making duck lips in the thumbnail smh.
    I received tips all the time for assisting with offloading while I was on the dedicated account with JB. As far as Ready-mix goes, I was offered a tip to go directly to a client's home and dispense the concrete. It's not unheard of. I didn't even have to make ducklips at the clients to get one

    It's very cool to hear of how common tipping actually is in the trucking industry when you start getting into more niche areas of the business. I'm glad I made this thread, I had no idea.
