Run Big Iron? This Job Pays Like It.
We’re hiring a Heavy-Duty Tow Driver to run wreckers, rollbacks, and recovery trucks (26,000 GVWR). This is real heavy-duty towing—commercial trucks, breakdowns, recoveries, and roadside work where experience actually matters.
If you can stay calm under pressure, hook clean, and get trucks moving safely, you’ll do well here.
What You’ll Do
- Operate heavy-duty wreckers, rollbacks, and recovery units
- Handle commercial towing, recovery, and roadside assistance calls
- Work directly with dispatch to complete pickups and deliveries
- Perform DOT pre-trip and post-trip inspections
- Complete logs, trip sheets, and Tow Book documentation accurately
- Respond to roadside situations safely and professionally
- Follow DOT regulations, traffic laws, and company safety standards
- Keep equipment clean, organized, and road-ready
- Support yard/shop tasks when needed
What We’re Looking For
- Valid CDL-A required (doubles/triples endorsement preferred)
- No automatic transmission restriction
- Valid DOT medical card clean driving record
- 2 years of commercial driving experience
- Experience with heavy-duty towing or recovery strongly preferred
- Basic mechanical ability (you know how trucks and tools work)
- Comfortable working on-call, weekends, and holidays
- Able to work independently and handle stressful roadside situations
- Strong communication with dispatch and customers
Pay & Perks
- $33–$37/hr base pay
- Commission structure with earnings up to $135,000/year
- Medical, Dental & Vision insurance
- Life & Disability coverage
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off holidays
Why This Role
This isn’t light-duty towing or easy highway cruising. It’s heavy recovery work on commercial equipment—fast-paced, physical, and high responsibility. When things go wrong on the road, you’re the one getting them back on it.
If you know heavy-duty towing and want consistent work with strong earning potential, this is worth a serious look.
