best way I’ve found is going “space available,” if companies are still doing this, you tell them how much stuff you need moved, from where to where, and if they have extra space on a move matching up or maybe an empty truck being relocated they fit you in at a discounted rate

Seriously. Tipping is out of control, but if anyone deserves a generous tip, it’s movers.

The crew that carefully packed last minute stuff, boxed and loaded my stuff were excellent. Gave them a hundred bucks each, the two older Mexicans acted as if it was a thousand. Very grateful.

NBF illegals suck. Houston and Dallas couldn’t function without the hard working honest ones. We do have to secure the border, can’t take everybody that wants to move here.

But I admire a hard working man doing an honest days job for relatively low pay.

How else will these college movers pay for college?

That’s like calling strippers “college dancers”.

$20-40 a man depending and I offer them a cold beer, which they always take

My wife also puts out a cooler of mini Gatorade’s and waters when they arrive. If you’re kind to them, they’re kind to your stuff.

And that is super hard fricking work.

Worked for a moving company one summer. Tips for a full move usually were in the 20-40 range per guy. Some also gave us cases of beer This was 20 years ago though.

Would do at least $50 a piece if they do a good job. Get there on time, no damages, etc. and I’m sure at some point you’ll ask them to do something not in the plans or go off schedule a bit.

Fairly simple, if they deserve it.

I've posted a bunch of shitting on tipping threads, but I have no problem tipping guys working their arse off moving heavy shite in the heat, up stairs, etc.

If any activity warrants a tip, it's a job like that. Of course, pending they take good care of your stuff and don't damage things.
