🚨 HIRING NOW

πŸš› THIS ISN’T YOUR AVERAGE TOWING JOB.

AND WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR YOUR AVERAGE DRIVER.

When a commercial truck breaks down...

When a tractor-trailer needs to be moved...

When a heavy vehicle needs roadside assistance...

When the job requires something bigger than an ordinary tow truck...

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for an experienced Heavy-Duty Tow Driver who can safely operate Heavy-Duty Wreckers, Rollbacks, and Recovery Vehicles over 26,000 lbs. GVWR while working closely with our Dispatch team.

This role takes more than a CDL.

It takes judgment, communication, mechanical awareness, professionalism, and the ability to stay calm when the job gets complicated.

If you know heavy-duty towing, we want to talk.

πŸ’° Your Experience Has Value.

YOUR PAY SHOULD REFLECT IT.

πŸ”₯ $25–$35/HOUR

Based On Experience

⚑ PLUS BONUS INCENTIVE

πŸ’΅ EARNING POTENTIAL UP TO $120,000/YEAR

You’ve put in the miles.

You’ve learned the equipment.

You know how to handle heavy trucks safely.

Put That Experience To Work.

πŸ’ͺ BIG EQUIPMENT.

BIG RESPONSIBILITY.

Depending on the call, you may operate:

πŸš› Heavy-Duty Wreckers

πŸ›» Rollbacks

βš™οΈ Recovery Vehicles

🚚 Heavy Commercial Vehicles

πŸͺ Towing & Recovery Equipment

This is equipment with a GVWR over 26,000 lbs.

That means every move matters.

Every inspection matters.

Every securement matters.

Every decision matters.

πŸ›‘ NO SHORTCUTS WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT.

A truck over 26,000 lbs. doesn’t care if you’re in a hurry.

Neither does physics.

That’s why we expect our drivers to do things the right way.

Inspect the truck.

Check the equipment.

Plan the route.

Follow the regulations.

Report the problem.

Protect the customer’s equipment.

Get everybody home safely.

We want drivers who understand that professionalism and safety go together.

🧠 THE BEST HEAVY-DUTY DRIVERS KNOW:

THE TRUCK IS ONLY PART OF THE JOB.

The customer is stressed.

Traffic is moving around you.

Dispatch needs information.

The weather may not cooperate.

The equipment may have a problem.

The schedule may change.

And you still have to get the job done professionally.

We’re looking for someone who can think, communicate, adapt, and execute β€” not just hold a steering wheel.

⏰ THE SCHEDULE

Heavy-duty towing doesn’t always happen Monday through Friday between 9 and 5.
