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.If you know heavy-duty towing, we want to talk.Your experience has value. Your pay should reflect it.$25–$35/hour based on experience plus bonus incentive earning potential up to $120,000/year.You've put in the miles. You've learned the equipment.

And communication keeps everything moving. We're looking for someone who understands that keeping Dispatch informed is part of doing the job right.Good communication equals better operations. No shortcuts with heavy equipment. 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. Inspect the truck.

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. And you still have to get the job done professionally. We're looking for someone who can think, communicate, adapt, and execute — not just hold a steering wheel.? The schedule:FULL-TIME — STANDARD 40-HOUR WEEKHeavy-duty towing doesn't always happen Monday through Friday between 9 and 5.
