๐จ HIRING NOW
๐ THIS ISNโT YOUR AVERAGE TOWING JOB. AND WEโRE 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... Thatโs where you come in. Weโre 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. ๐ฐ YOUR EXPERIENCE HAS VALUE. YOUR PAY SHOULD REFLECT IT.
๐ฅ $25โ$35/HOUR
Based on experience
โก PLUS BONUS INCENTIVE
๐ต EARNING POTENTIAL UP TO $120,000/YEAR
Youโve put in the miles. Youโve learned the equipment. You know how to handle heavy trucks safely. PUT THAT EXPERIENCE TO WORK. ๐ช BIG EQUIPMENT. BIG RESPONSIBILITY.
Depending on the call, you may operate:
๐ Heavy-Duty Wreckers ๐ป Rollbacks โ๏ธ Recovery Vehicles ๐ Heavy Commercial Vehicles ๐ช 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.
๐ฅ WHAT YOUโLL DO
TOW IT. TRANSPORT IT. HANDLE IT RIGHT. ๐น Provide heavy-duty towing and roadside assistance safely, professionally, and on time ๐น Complete scheduled heavy-duty towing, transport, deliveries, and pickups ๐น Operate heavy-duty wreckers, rollbacks, and recovery vehicles safely and efficiently ๐น Respond to Dispatch and communicate throughout each assignment ๐น Perform complete DOT pre-trip and post-trip inspections ๐น Maintain accurate, up-to-date driver logs and trip sheets ๐น Complete and submit required dispatch and administrative paperwork on time ๐น Generate and submit proper delivery and recovery documentation through Tow Book ๐น Navigate using maps and GPS, plan routes, and follow written and verbal instructions ๐น Follow all applicable DOT regulations, traffic laws, company policies, and safety procedures ๐น Follow proper accident procedures when required ๐น Protect and maintain company trucks, equipment, merchandise, and other assets ๐น Keep your assigned truck clean, professional, and road-ready ๐น Wash and maintain your truck during available downtime ๐น Immediately report mechanical problems or equipment concerns to management ๐น Properly handle hazardous and non-hazardous materials when required ๐น Handle customer concerns calmly, professionally, and respectfully ๐น Take on additional assignments as operational needs require ๐ก 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. Weโre looking for someone who understands that keeping Dispatch informed is part of doing the job right. โ Answer the call โ Confirm the assignment โ Communicate delays โ Report problems โ Keep documentation accurate โ Close out the job correctly GOOD COMMUNICATION = BETTER OPERATIONS. ๐ NO SHORTCUTS WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT. A truck over 26,000 lbs. doesnโt care if youโre in a hurry. Neither does physics. Thatโs 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 customerโs equipment. Get everybody home safely. We want drivers who understand that professionalism and safety go together.

๐ง 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. Weโre looking for someone who can think, communicate, adapt, and execute - not just hold a steering wheel.
โฐ THE SCHEDULE
FULL-TIME - STANDARD 40-HOUR WEEK
