Heavy-duty towing isn’t about simply having a CDL and knowing which pedal makes the truck move.
It’s about knowing:
Traffic changes.
Weather changes.
Equipment fails.
Customers are stressed.
Plans don’t always work the first time.
That’s who we’re looking for.
Heavy-duty towing works when communication works.
Dispatch needs to know what’s happening in the field.
You need Dispatch to know what you need.
And the customer needs confidence that somebody has the situation under control.
That means:
✓ Communicating clearly
✓ Providing accurate updates
✓ Reporting delays and problems
✓ Completing documentation correctly
✓ Staying professional under pressure
✓ Closing out every call properly
✓ Valid CDL-A
✓ Doubles/Triples Endorsement
✓ No Automatic Transmission Restriction
✓ Current DOT Medical Card
✓ Clean driving record
✓ Minimum 2 years of commercial driving experience
✓ Ability to safely and confidently operate heavy-duty vehicles and equipment
✓ Strong communication and customer-service skills
✓ Ability to work independently and make sound decisions
✓ Ability to work as a dependable part of the Dispatch and operations team
✓ Strong attention to detail and organization
✓ High school diploma or equivalent
✓ Basic mechanical knowledge and ability to use common tools
✓ Weekend availability
✓ On-call availability
✓ Holiday flexibility when business demands require it

🪝 Heavy-Duty Towing Experience
💪 Recovery Experience
🚛 Heavy Transport Experience
🔧 Strong Mechanical Skills
📡 Dispatch-Driven Fleet Experience
The more heavy-duty experience you bring, the faster you can make an impact.
Heavy trucks don’t check the calendar before breaking down.
So this role requires flexibility.
📅 Weekend availability is required
📞 On-call availability is required
🎄 Holiday availability may be needed based on business demands
If you want every day to look exactly the same, heavy-duty towing probably isn’t for you.
The customer may be stranded.
Their equipment may be down.
Their delivery may be late.
Traffic may be backing up.
They may be frustrated.
We expect our drivers to bring more than technical ability.
Bring professionalism.
Bring patience.
Bring solutions.
Bring confidence.
