📡 Dispatch-Driven Fleet Experience
The more experience you bring to the operation, the more opportunity there is to put it to work.
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.
We’re looking for someone who can think, communicate, adapt, and execute — not just hold a steering wheel.
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.
