Every assignment starts with Dispatch.

๐Ÿ”น Assist with additional towing, transport, and recovery needs as assigned
๐Ÿง  HORSEPOWER GETS THE ATTENTION.
JUDGMENT GETS THE JOB DONE.
Heavy-duty towing isn't about simply having a CDL and knowing which pedal makes the truck move.
It's about knowing:
When to pull.
When to reposition.
When to stop.
When to call Dispatch.
When something just doesn't look right.
Traffic changes.
Weather changes.
Equipment fails.
Customers are stressed.
Plans don't always work the first time.
The best heavy-duty drivers stay calm, adapt, and make good decisions.
That's who we're looking for.
๐Ÿ“ก DISPATCH + DRIVER
ONE TEAM. ONE JOB.
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:
โ€ข Communicating clearly
โ€ข Providing accurate updates
โ€ข Reporting delays and problems
โ€ข Completing documentation correctly
โ€ข Staying professional under pressure
โ€ข Closing out every call properly
GOOD OPERATORS DON'T GO RADIO SILENT.
๐ŸŽฏ WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
THE MUST-HAVES:
โ€ข Valid CDL-A
โ€ข Doubles/Triples Endorsement
โ€ข No Automatic Transmission Restriction
โ€ข Current DOT Medical Card
โ€ข Clean driving record
โ€ข Minimum 2 years of commercial driving experience
โ€ข Ability to safely and confidently operate heavy-duty vehicles and equipment
โ€ข Strong communication and customer-service skills
โ€ข Ability to work independently and make sound decisions
โ€ข Ability to work as a dependable part of the Dispatch and operations team
โ€ข Strong attention to detail and organization
โ€ข High school diploma or equivalent
โ€ข Basic mechanical knowledge and ability to use common tools
โ€ข Weekend availability
โ€ข On-call availability
โ€ข Holiday flexibility when business demands require it
EVEN BETTER IF YOU BRING:
โ˜ฃ HazMat Endorsement
๐Ÿ›ข Tanker Endorsement
๐Ÿช Heavy-Duty Towing Experience
๐Ÿ’ช Recovery Experience
๐Ÿš› Heavy Transport Experience
๐Ÿ”ง Strong Mechanical Skills
๐Ÿ“ก Dispatch-Driven Fleet Experience
The more heavy-duty experience you bring, the faster you can make an impact.
โฐ THE SCHEDULE
FULL-TIME
STANDARD 40-HOUR WORKWEEK
Heavy trucks don't check the calendar before breaking down.
So this role requires flexibility.
๐Ÿ“… Weekend availability is required
๐Ÿ“ž On-call availability is required
๐ŸŽ„ 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.
If you like being the person people count on when things go sideways...
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT BUSINESS.
๐Ÿšจ THEIR BAD DAY.
YOUR TIME TO BE A PRO.
The customer may be stranded.
Their equipment may be down.
Their delivery may be late.
Traffic may be backing up.
They may be frustrated.
YOU'RE THE PERSON WHO SHOWS UP.
We expect our drivers to bring more than technical ability.
Bring professionalism.
Bring patience.
Bring solutions.
Bring confidence.
You're not just moving a truck.
YOU'RE HELPING GET SOMEONE'S OPERATION MOVING AGAIN.
๐Ÿ’ฅ WHAT YOU GET
๐Ÿ’ฐ $33-$37/Hour
๐Ÿ”ฅ Competitive Commission Structure
๐Ÿ’ต Earning Potential Up to $135,000/Year
โฑ Full-Time Employment
๐Ÿฅ Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
๐Ÿ›ก Life & Disability Plans
+ AFLAC
๐Ÿ“ˆ 401(k) With Company Match
๐Ÿ– Paid Time Off
๐ŸŽ‰ Paid Holidays
๐Ÿš› Work That Actually Uses Your CDL-A & Heavy-Duty Experience
๐Ÿ’ช A Team That Values Skilled, Dependable Drivers
๐Ÿ”ฅ THIS ISN'T A JOB FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST HAS A CDL.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HEAVY.
Someone who respects the equipment.
Someone who communicates.
Someone who stays calm.
Someone who takes care of the customer.
Someone who understands that safety comes before speed.
Someone Dispatch can count on.
And someone who takes pride in looking back at a completed job and knowing:
"THAT WAS DONE RIGHT."
๐Ÿš› GOT THE CDL-A?
๐Ÿช KNOW HEAVY-DUTY TOWING?
