Default Car Transporters and Tips

I know this is a strange question for this forum but I figure many people here have had experience using cross country haulers for their cars.

I have a car coming from WI to MA on Intercity. Can I assume it's reasonable to tip the guy and how much would you give?

When my trailer was delivered from the West coast to MA I think I gave the guy a C-note.

TIA

I agree, a c-note is perfect

Not to be confused with the C-word.

Paul from Intercity delivered a car to my home today. Very professional and I'm really pleased with the whole Intercity experience and will use them again.

Check out the guy's rig! 88 Feet. Whoa.

Well I guess I'm obligated now. I did my first Bring-a-trailer purchase. I found this very cool 1972 Datsun 240Z and it's in great shape. The color spoke to me and I had to have it. I've wanted one of these since I was a teenager.

Intercity is wonderful. Serious white glove treatment from door to door. Nice car Dave! Love the color and that steering wheel! Brings back lots of memories. Good luck with it.
