IMHO, it's your choice and consider tips as nothing more than wages a
customer pays other peoples' help. It's your money; do as you wish. As
for me, I figure they're already getting paid by somebody else to do a
job. If they don't like their salary, they can bargain for a larger one
or change jobs. Hard nosed? Perhaps? So be it!

I can tell you never ran into a real freight man. They have the power to
send your stuff to Cleveland if they want to. And do all sorts of things
to hold up your business, freight, and heartbeat.

I used to love running into your types. I was a Teamster, and knew 98
ways to make your **** disappear for long periods of time.

OK, tell us _one_ way for a truck driver to "make your **** disappear for
long periods of time" without having anybody ask how it got off the truck
between loading and delivery.

Uh, signing it off as delivered, and dropping it in the river? Marking it
"refused - return to sender" and scribbling a signature? Marking "unloading
dock closed" - "return to terminal"? Spilling a can of oil on it, and
marking "hazardous material leaking from crate"?

Need I go on?

Every company has rules regarding handling and delivery. Any good freight
man knows how to hurt a "customer" who is a PITA.
