Per diem is a part of the compensation in a contract. How anybody spends that is up to them.



Once again, good for you. Glad you were able to do that. Others aren't in the same situation. Actually it does because I tip the drivers two or three bucks. But to use your logic, maybe I should lecture you about being a cheapskate since you make all that money now and only tip $1. Funny thing you mention budgets. When I budget the first things on my list are keeping a roof over my head, running the house, and taking care of the needs of myself and my family. Extras like tipping van drivers come second.





Never heard or have seen anyone talking about airline crews not tipping and I've been around a while. Van drivers do their job just like anyone else and the idea that an extra buck or two is going to get you a ride to the hotel faster is nonsense.
