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.

DISPATCH + DRIVERONE 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:

✓ Providing accurate updates

✓ Reporting delays and problems

Heavy trucks don’t check the calendar before breaking down.

So this role requires flexibility.

Weekend availability is required

On-call availability is required

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. 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.
