2014 RT-S Delivery question

[jvanbeek]

I'll be taking delivery of a 2014 RT-S soon. It is being shipped to from Texas. Will the driver be expecting a tip? If so, how much would be appropriate? The Spyder should be a nice upgrade from the Triumph America I've driving for the last 8 years. Super excited!!!

That's a good question. I'm sure they'd appreciate a tip.

For me being the cheap bas###d I am it would depend on if he was a one man operation or worked for a big company and his attitude. That being said the last job I had was delivering sign supplies, sometimes multiple sheets of heavy OSB 4x8 sheets on a route through WI and S MN,rain or shine, warm or freezong cold, no one ever offered a tip, lots of cold beverages and snacks, but no cash.

A single driver....received in good condition.....helpful in unloading......good attitude.....on time..... $50.

You are getting a machine worth 22-25K. Enjoy. He probably won't expect a tip, but......

:agree: What he said.

You could always give him THIS tip: "Never try to pee into the wind..." :roflblack:

But that's only after the bike has been successfully unloaded! nojoke

Shipping

I need to have a 2014 RT-S shipped from St. Charles (St. Louis), MO to Atlanta area. What do you think is a good price. I have a quote for $500 in an enclosed trailer.

Bob, you are wrong in this case. The driver is from Texas.....He will have a Glock in his pocket....

:joke:

:shocked: I'm glad that you reminded me of that!
In that case: you can still give the same tip... but you have to do it as you're handing an open bottle of Tequila to him! :thumbup:

I think that is a very good gesture, and a fair deal. Unfortunately I did not see this topic earlier. I had 2 spyders delivered, one from Texas (my 2014 RT) and another from I-Motorsports (my F3T). Unfortunately for them, I was so excited that I didn't even think of tippingpps:. The guy from Texas was an individual, so I can only assume he had everything in the price (about $850), but the guy that delivered from I-Motorsports definately deserved a tip.

Not sure about this tipping thing. Personally I think it is getting a little out of hand here in the good old USA. If someone goes above and beyond a normal personal service I say yea. If not I do not feel obligated to tip everyone and everybody. Not sure why you are asking this question here. It should be a personal thing between you and your driver if you feel that way not a public decision. nojoke JMO

I'm into this shipment to the tune of $800. Which includes an enclosed trailer and insurance.
