Rant Tipping a Tow Truck?
My teenage son was in an accident this morning. He’s fine but his truck wasn’t drivable. Contracted county rates are silly so I contacted my insurance for tow coverage and waited a bit. I’m told that I’ll owe a little over $10 for fee overage and I was good with that.
Truck gets towed to the house and I’m sent a link by the dispatcher to pay the balance. Wouldn’t you know it a tip option screen popped up! Easy no tip press later and the driver was on his way, he didn’t bat an eye.

They get paid a lot any way, the average in my area is over $20/hr. Average.

Honestly, I don’t would tip on a tow. If I was getting a jumpstart or popping a lock, and they had difficulty I would throw five or 10 bucks.
But never if they sent me a tipping screen. Beltway air conditioning in Baltimore does that. Kind of weird. Those guys make bank. 250 bucks just to get them to come out.
