How can I become a wrecker driver?

To become a wrecker driver, you need numerous qualifications, including mechanical experience, an excellent driving record, and automotive repair skills. A high school diploma or GED certificate is important, though not a strict prerequisite. You should have basic mechanical training and aptitude and familiarity with diagnosing simple issues with cars. Required certifications may include AAA certification and a commercial driver’s license (CDL), particularly if you operate larger trucks, such as a rollback truck. Customer service and excellent verbal communication are necessary because you are often the first point of contact between a driver and your business.
