You guys dont get tips? Why do drivers deserve tips and no one else? Say a customer tips you, and then you give a tip to the loaders, unloaders and the part time car washers. They tipped your service which requires the truck being loaded, unloaded, washed and fueled. So some of that tip is theirs too. Notice I kept it to the part time employees, they're the only ones who deserve a tip.
IIRC, all but about 4 of my 34 years were rural routes.
I might get the occasional $5 or $10, but by far my tips were a plate of cookies, a pie and maybe some homemade venison bologna.
I wasn't sharing with anyone.
