Job description

Description:Drive at night. No confrontation. Take-home car. Real pay.TrueNorth Recovery is hiring a Camera Car Driver — also called an LPR Agent or Spotter — in Winston-Salem. This is a technology-driven night driving job. You're not hooking cars. You're not dealing with upset people. You drive a company-provided camera car through assigned routes and the license plate reader does the work. When the system finds a target, you call it in and keep moving.
If you've done delivery, rideshare, overnight security, or any kind of route driving, you already know how to do most of this job.

WHAT YOU EARN

$15/hr base — paid for every hour you're out

$25 commission per live hit secured

Up to $500/month performance bonus


That averages out to $22/hour for active drivers. The more plates your camera catches on assignment, the higher your commission climbs. Pay is straightforward — you'll know exactly what you made before every check.


WHAT YOU GET

  • $500 bonus after your first 60-days
  • Take-home camera car — the vehicle is yours 24/7 while you're employed, not just during your shift
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance — almost nobody in this industry offers this
  • Paid time off
  • Life insurance
  • Paid training — no prior LPR or repo experience required
  • Referral bonuses — get paid when someone you bring in gets hired


SCHEDULE

Sunday through Thursday, 9:00 PM – 6:00 AMNight owl? This is built for you. The roads are quiet, traffic is light, and you work independently without a manager over your shoulder.


WHAT A SHIFT LOOKS LIKE

You pick up your assigned territory in Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point (the Triad). The LPR cameras mounted on the car scan every plate you pass — automatically, in real time — against a live database of vehicles flagged for recovery. When there's a hit, you verify the location, radio it in to the recovery team, and move to the next block. The repo agents handle the actual pickup. That's not your role.


Your job: drive the route, work the plate reader, report the hits. Night after night you get faster, you know your territory better, and your commission reflects it.


THIS JOB FITS IF YOU'RE COMING FROM

  • Uber, Lyft, or DoorDash driving
  • Amazon, FedEx, UPS, USPS, or food delivery
  • Overnight security or loss prevention
  • Taxi or cab service
  • Dealership lot driving or vehicle transport
  • Military service — veterans strongly encouraged to apply
  • Any job where you've shown you can drive a route and work independently at night

No experience as a spotter, surveillance driver, or plate reader operator? That's fine. We train from zero.


MILITARY & SECOND CHANCE EMPLOYER

Military background is not required but is strongly valued — the discipline and independent judgment you built carry directly into this role. We also believe in second chances. A prior record doesn't automatically disqualify you. We look at the full picture.
