I've decided that this is on-topic for this NG since many of us order
large tools that have to be delivered freight.

When a truck driver drops a pallet in your garage, is he expecting a tip?
How much? What do you think?


No, he expects nothing and is paid a decent wage. I find that most
drivers are very courteous and try to give good service. Their employers
expect them to do this in order to sustain business with good relations.
OTOH, if the driver does something above and beyond, sure a 5 or 10 will
be appreciated. If he sets it in place in your garage, a $5 bill is
probably OK, If he unpacks, sets up the tools, makes test cuts, then go
for $10.
