Movers - tipping - how much?

I have movers here to move to our new house today... 3 guys... it's a LOT of heavy furniture and over 3000 sq/ft of a house so a lot of stuff.

How much do I tip each of them? What's the going rate these days??

Are they unloading at the new house as well?

We tipped $40/guy plus gave them ice cold water throughout the move, it was hot that day. Offering them the water and letting them use our bathrooms worked in our favor, btw, they got our move done 2 hours early saving us more than the $ spent for tips and drinks.

I would give them 50-100 each and buy lunch. Sounds like u have a lot of stuff.

Especially if they get it done with no issues.

I tend to be an over tipper!
