"etiquette" question related to car transport
hi guys,
i'm not sure which forum to post this question in so hope you're all ok with it here. i sold my '02 996 cab last week and have my new 997 c2 cab arriving tomorrow via covered transport from an out of state dealer.
i was wondering if i should tip the driver. anyone have experience with this or know what's appropriate? should he get a tip, or, no tip? (no pun by the way - tiptronic )
thanks!
david

I don't recommend kicking him in the nads and telling him to move faster. 'Unlike you, my time is important.'
Your car may not come off the truck nice an easy.

Yep, offer him/her a drink at arrival (non-alcoholic). hahaha
Once you have your baby off loaded its appropriate to tip 15% of the total cost of the P-car, NOT! ($10-20 is appropriate)
Congratulations on your new arrival... post pictures of your new baby!
Cheers!

If the schedule is normal turn and on time or early, the car is taken care off, and they appear professional and clean, then I tip a C note... I've done that twice. When the Z06 was shipped in from Minnesota in January the drivers had done a straight drive from the dealer to my house in 36 hours, so they got a MUCH bigger tip.
I like the idea of a gift card, too. It indicates that you went out of your way to purchase something for them. I like that.
