Residential deliveries and tips

Even though It’s Not required it’s human decency.
Kind of like parking in the fuel isle and taking a shower.
Not necessarily required but human decency dictates you go park.

 

You must of misread where I said that if anyone does anything for me I tip them?
I wasn’t talking about just my employees.
I appreciate anyone for doing a great job no just my employees.

 

That’s what “Thank you” is for...

 

I’m sorry, but I gotta step back in. My patience has worn thin today, and this thread is the icing on the bitter cake.

Grumppy said he’s not here to beat you down. I’m going to.

Based on the whining continuing, and not understanding what the majority of us do, I’m going to assume you’re a millennial, and you simply expect more is owed to you than reality dictates.

By the way, before I forget, classicst has it correct. Putting freight in a garage is not an inside delivery. Do you charge inside delivery to a business that is a ground drop if you bring it inside their roll-up door? I doubt it.

Based on my previous questions, I’m going to assume you don’t take anything other than minimal effort at doing your job, and complain when you have to go even a step beyond that.

Driving for a living requires work, especially if you’re doing LTL and/or home delivery. It’s your job. If you can’t hack it without feeling you’re being cheated by not getting tipped, move on. There’s plenty of other jobs to be had where you don’t have to deal with the general public, who may not understand what we have to endure every day, but that’s no fault of their own.

 

After careful thought I toss my hat into this ring.

No one in school or on the road said that I will some day be backing a 18 wheeler 53 footer into someones driveway off a two lane road with soft shoulders waiting to trap the thing, or trying to back down a cul de sac aiming for a car port blindside at 3 am in the morning waking everyone up.

It was a good thing everyone was awake, the kids come out by the dozen to get the oranges they collectively bought for raising funds off that trailer in a timely manner. Which was what we were hauling for that run to 4 seperate but coordinated places working to sell them at a profit and raise funds for a variety of purposes. Two were houses, one was a school (30 instant lumpers with a briefing on how to get into a trailer without breaking a leg) and one was a church. (Easy enough...)

Stories are built on interesting problems such as those kinds of loads. I also learned you can set off car alarms on thin enough pavement which really isnt made to hold 40 ton. But you can nurse it along and not bend it too much.

However. I decided that I am not going to take any shots at what I consider to be a apparent lack of work ethic to roll up the sleeves and dive into that LTL work and some such. As far as I am concerned it is very good work, hard work and if you are fit enough to do it right then don't complain. That's all I say.
