WHEN THE BIG TRUCKS STOP... YOU GET THEM MOVING AGAIN.

๐Ÿ’ช HEAVY-DUTY TOW & RECOVERY DRIVER

๐Ÿ’ฐ $25โ€“$35/Hour, Based on Experience ๐Ÿ”ฅ Bonus Incentive + Earning Potential Up to $120,000/Year โฑ๏ธ Full-Time | Standard 40-Hour Week ๐Ÿ“… Weekend & On-Call Availability Required

๐Ÿšจ HIRING NOW

๐Ÿš› THIS ISNโ€™T YOUR AVERAGE TOWING JOB. AND WEโ€™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... Thatโ€™s where you come in. Weโ€™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. ๐Ÿ’ฐ YOUR EXPERIENCE HAS VALUE. YOUR PAY SHOULD REFLECT IT.

๐Ÿ”ฅ $25โ€“$35/HOUR

Based on experience

โšก PLUS BONUS INCENTIVE

๐Ÿ’ต EARNING POTENTIAL UP TO $120,000/YEAR

Youโ€™ve put in the miles. Youโ€™ve learned the equipment. You know how to handle heavy trucks safely. PUT THAT EXPERIENCE TO WORK. ๐Ÿ’ช BIG EQUIPMENT. BIG RESPONSIBILITY.

Depending on the call, you may operate:

๐Ÿš› Heavy-Duty Wreckers ๐Ÿ›ป Rollbacks โš™๏ธ Recovery Vehicles ๐Ÿšš Heavy Commercial Vehicles ๐Ÿช 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.

๐Ÿ”ฅ WHAT YOUโ€™LL DO

TOW IT. TRANSPORT IT. HANDLE IT RIGHT. ๐Ÿ”น Provide heavy-duty towing and roadside assistance safely, professionally, and on time ๐Ÿ”น Complete scheduled heavy-duty towing, transport, deliveries, and pickups ๐Ÿ”น Operate heavy-duty wreckers, rollbacks, and recovery vehicles safely and efficiently ๐Ÿ”น Respond to Dispatch and communicate throughout each assignment ๐Ÿ”น Perform complete DOT pre-trip and post-trip inspections ๐Ÿ”น Maintain accurate, up-to-date driver logs and trip sheets ๐Ÿ”น Complete and submit required dispatch and administrative paperwork on time ๐Ÿ”น Generate and submit proper delivery and recovery documentation through Tow Book ๐Ÿ”น Navigate using maps and GPS, plan routes, and follow written and verbal instructions ๐Ÿ”น Follow all applicable DOT regulations, traffic laws, company policies, and safety procedures ๐Ÿ”น Follow proper accident procedures when required ๐Ÿ”น Protect and maintain company trucks, equipment, merchandise, and other assets ๐Ÿ”น Keep your assigned truck clean, professional, and road-ready ๐Ÿ”น Wash and maintain your truck during available downtime ๐Ÿ”น Immediately report mechanical problems or equipment concerns to management ๐Ÿ”น Properly handle hazardous and non-hazardous materials when required ๐Ÿ”น Handle customer concerns calmly, professionally, and respectfully ๐Ÿ”น Take on additional assignments as operational needs require ๐Ÿ“ก 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. Management is supporting the operation. And communication keeps everything moving. Weโ€™re looking for someone who understands that keeping Dispatch informed is part of doing the job right. โœ“ Answer the call โœ“ Confirm the assignment โœ“ Communicate delays โœ“ Report problems โœ“ Keep documentation accurate โœ“ Close out the job correctly GOOD COMMUNICATION = BETTER OPERATIONS. ๐Ÿ›‘ NO SHORTCUTS WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT. A truck over 26,000 lbs. doesnโ€™t care if youโ€™re in a hurry. Neither does physics. Thatโ€™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 customerโ€™s equipment. Get everybody home safely. We want drivers who understand that professionalism and safety go together.

๐ŸŽฏ WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

THE MUST-HAVES:

โœ“ Valid CDL-A โœ“ Doubles/Triples Endorsement โœ“ No Automatic Transmission Restriction โœ“ Current DOT Medical Card โœ“ Clean driving record โœ“ At least 2 years of commercial driving experience โœ“ Ability to safely operate heavy-duty commercial vehicles โœ“ Strong communication and interpersonal skills โœ“ Ability to work independently and as part of a team โœ“ Strong attention to detail and organization โœ“ Ability to work effectively with Dispatch โœ“ Weekend availability โœ“ Flexibility to work holidays when operationally required โœ“ Required on-call availability โœ“ High school diploma or equivalent โœ“ Basic mechanical knowledge and ability to use tools

โญ EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE:

โ˜ฃ๏ธ HazMat Endorsement ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Tanker Endorsement ๐Ÿช Heavy-Duty Towing Experience โš™๏ธ Recovery Experience ๐Ÿ”ง Strong Mechanical Skills ๐Ÿš› Commercial Transport Experience ๐Ÿ“ก Dispatch-Driven Fleet Experience The more experience you bring to the operation, the more opportunity there is to put it to work.

๐Ÿง  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. Weโ€™re looking for someone who can think, communicate, adapt, and execute - not just hold a steering wheel.

โฐ THE SCHEDULE

FULL-TIME - STANDARD 40-HOUR WEEK

Heavy-duty towing doesnโ€™t always happen Monday through Friday between 9 and 5.

Thatโ€™s why:

๐Ÿ“… Weekend availability is required ๐Ÿ“ž On-call availability is required ๐ŸŽ„ Holiday flexibility may be needed If youโ€™re looking for a role where every day is exactly the same, this probably isnโ€™t it. If you like being the person people count on when something goes wrong... YOUโ€™LL FIT RIGHT IN.
