My first mailorder big machine is showing up tomorrow at 3pm from abf
freight and amazon. It's a 300lb sander. I know the truck has a lift
gate. And the lady at the trucking company said that they would wheel
it into the garage for me. I expect things to be uneventful. Can
anyone suggest anything to watch out for? Should I tip this guy?

I always tip delivery guys like this Brian. Let your conscience be your
guide. What else to watch out for... make sure you know where you want it.
It's hard to get the guy with the big pallet jack to turn around and come
back after he's 3 miles down the road.

Do take all the packing off and really thoroughly inspect it for damage
before the trucker leaves. If you have to submit a claim, it's so much
easier to do if you can document damages on the bill of lading. If you find
damage, call Amazon while the trucker is there so you can be sure to get all
of the details right. Check the shock watch if one is installed on the box.
