Got some people coming in to load a truck so I dont have to, do I tip them? Or just pay the hourly rate?

Definitely tip them. Some before to make them work harder...some after to thank them.

why would tipping them before make them work harder?

Definitely. Think about how much it sucks to move your own stuff. If they manage to get everything moved and intact in a timely manner, they certainly deserve a generous tip.

I just had 3 guys load all the furniture out of our 2nd story 2-2 apartment, hauled, and unloaded into a 2-story townhome in less than 2 hours. They were freakin' incredible. Not a single thing was damaged. We were their 2nd and last move of the day so I doubt they were going to get paid the rest of the day so I tipped them pretty good. It would have taken us an entire day at least to do what they did.

The guys that are actually moving your stuff make absolute nothing. If they did a good job and didn't break anything, I'll usually give them $100 between them...

when our daughters moved to their first apartment we paid movers to do it...they knew up front what the company was paying them but I bought them burgers at lunchtime, gave them an ice chest with bottled water and tipped each of them when finished

they acted surprised when I handed them the water when they had loaded the trailer...we headed to CS and as soon as they started unloading I got lunch...after they ate they said they would put the beds and table together. They moved all the furniture into place, not just into the apartment.

Not one thing was scratched or broken

mc359: That's what Mom and Dad always did so I did the same as a result...even the last move they broke the music stand on my piano but the repair was covered under their insurance.

if you hire em by the hour (and especially if they are contracted), ask them how long they estimate a move will take, and if they say it will take about 4 hours at 50$ an hour, tell them you will pay them 300$ flat rate if they get it done below that time, and any time they save is their tip. This helps ensure they get a good tip and you don't get them slacking off and charging you more than it should.

seriously, I don't want to schlep that crap in August why do they! The men aren't getting the whole amount I paid so I gave them incentive to do a better job and treated them like professionals....sure worked for us.

If was funny they asked my daughters if there was a good ice cream place on the way out of CS and we gave them directions to 31 Flavors AND Shakes and they said they would go to BOTH!

I generally tip them. The last time I hired movers I even bought them lunch.

I got some movers for dam near dirt cheap, only one spoke english. When they were finished, i tipped them and specifically divided the cash and said "this is for the boss" and "this is for yall".

Best 5 bucks i ever spent. j/k

This is what I've done in the past. Moved me from Bryan to Waco to a 3rd story apartment. They did a great job, worked hard so I tipped them well.

We "tipped" our all-volunteer army of movers (friends) with gift cards and provided breakfast and lunch. Some of the gift cards were to Sonic and we cannot be sure that tips were paid at Sonic though.
