WHEN THE BIG TRUCKS STOP...

YOU GET THEM MOVING AGAIN.

HEAVY-DUTY TOW & RECOVERY DRIVER

$25–$35/Hour, Based on ExperienceBonus Incentive + Earning Potential Up to $120,000/YearFull-Time | Standard 40-Hour WeekWeekend & On-Call Availability RequiredHIRING NOW

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.

YOUR EXPERIENCE HAS VALUE.

YOUR PAY SHOULD REFLECT IT.

$25–$35/HOUR

Based on experience

PLUS BONUS INCENTIVE

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.

BIG EQUIPMENT.

BIG RESPONSIBILITY.

Depending on the call, you may operate:

Heavy-Duty Wreckers

Rollbacks

Recovery Vehicles

Heavy Commercial Vehicles

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.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

TOW IT. TRANSPORT IT. HANDLE IT RIGHT.

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

Complete scheduled heavy-duty towing, transport, deliveries, and pickups

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

Respond to Dispatch and communicate throughout each assignment

Perform complete DOT pre-trip and post-trip inspections

Generate and submit proper delivery and recovery documentation through Tow Book

Navigate using maps and GPS, plan routes, and follow written and verbal instructions

Protect and maintain company trucks, equipment, merchandise, and other assets

Keep your assigned truck clean, professional, and road-ready

Wash and maintain your truck during available downtime

Immediately report mechanical problems or equipment concerns to management

Properly handle hazardous and non-hazardous materials when required

Handle customer concerns calmly, professionally, and respectfully

Take on additional assignments as operational needs require

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.

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

Answer the call

Confirm the assignment

Communicate delays

Report problems

Keep documentation accurate

Close out the job correctly

GOOD COMMUNICATION = BETTER OPERATIONS.

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 — not just hold a steering wheel.

THE SCHEDULE

FULL-TIME — STANDARD 40-HOUR WEEK

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

That’s why:

Weekend availability is required

On-call availability is required

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.
