Do you really think 44.25 hr is a lot of money for an owner of a delivery company. What about all the overhead they have. Also how do you know the amount of deliveries a day they are doing. Maybe it's slow and they only do 2 deliveries.
You really don't understand all the work these guys do to deliver your items to your home. You pay a lot of money for these items, what's a few bucks more to show appreciation on bringing the items to your home, hooking them up, hauling away the old stuff and cleaning up afterwards. Makes them feel better about themselves. A lot better than a ¢.25 bottle of water.
The only overhead they have is their truck, fuel and insurance and they get 57.5 cents per mile, the IRS allowance, in compensation for that. Or he can claim the mileage as income, if his cost exceeds 57.5 cents a mile, and deduct the actual cost from his taxes. I only know what my wife's nephew says the norm is for his store. Each crew averages 12 a day. Sure, their may be days they only do two, but then there must be days they do more. These guys wouldn't do it if it wasn't a decent way to make a living.
