πŸ”₯ Bonus Incentive Earning Potential Up to $120,000/Year

⏱️ Full-Time | Standard 40-Hour Week

πŸ“… Weekend & On-Call Availability Required

🚨 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”₯ What You’ll Do

TOW IT. TRANSPORT IT. HANDLE IT RIGHT.

πŸ”Ή Provide heavy-duty towing and roadside assistance safely, professionally, and on time

πŸ”Ή Complete scheduled heavy-duty towing, transport, deliveries, and pickups

πŸ”Ή Operate heavy-duty wreckers, rollbacks, and recovery vehicles safely and efficiently

πŸ“‘ DISPATCH HAS YOUR BACK.

YOU NEED TO HAVE THEIRS.

Heavy-duty towing is a team operation.

The driver is on the road.

Dispatch is coordinating the move.

We’re looking for someone who understands that keeping Dispatch informed is part of doing the job right.

βœ“ Answer the call

βœ“ Confirm the assignment

βœ“ Communicate delays

βœ“ Report problems

βœ“ Keep documentation accurate

βœ“ Close out the job correctly

GOOD COMMUNICATION = BETTER OPERATIONS.

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.

πŸ“‘ Dispatch-Driven Fleet Experience

The more experience you bring to the operation, the more opportunity there is to put it to work.

🧠 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

FULL-TIME β€” STANDARD 40-HOUR WEEK

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

That’s why:

πŸ“… Weekend availability is required

πŸ“ž On-call availability is required

πŸŽ„ Holiday flexibility may be needed

If you’re looking for a role where every day is exactly the same, this probably isn’t it.

If you like being the person people count on when something goes wrong...

YOU’LL FIT RIGHT IN.
