How much did you tip the driver? I know it's up to me, but just askin'. Thanks.

Outstanding job. $100; better than expected
Good job: $50; ok but not great

Any damage or issues: no tip

I had my car transported from WI to NC last year. I tipped the driver a 20 as it was going to his lot for a while and he told me he would find a nice safe place for it.

Maybe I am cheap?

I took the driver out to eat for a dinner at Applebee's after his long journey. Got to know him on a personal level. Had good conversation. Good food. And tipped him either $25 or $50 (I forgot the amount).

He said in all his years of transporting, I was the first to take him out for a dinner.
