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...

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.

That means every move matters.

Every inspection matters.

Every securement matters.

Every decision matters.

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


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.

We want drivers who understand that professionalism and safety go together.

🚛 Commercial Transport Experience

📡 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.
