Our dispatchers handle calls from a variety of customers and understand the policies and procedures to handle each one of our accounts. You will be required to learn and know which piece of equipment can tow the vehicle and to dispatch that truck and driver within the time that was given to the customer. Tow calls might include passenger cars, pickup trucks, SUV’s, motorcycles, tractor trailers and heavy equipment.

Most of the calls we respond to are not accidents. The majority of the requests for assistance are for vehicle transport from a home or business to a repair facility. Our Towing Operators also provide roadside assistance calls that include changing a flat tire, performing lockout services, fuel delivery, jump starting a vehicle or selling and installing a battery if necessary. Other duties include providing passenger transport when needed or assistance with traffic control and cleanup on a call already in progress for another team member.

During the winter or rainy seasons, we often perform winch out service for motorists who have become stuck or have slid off the main roadway. Simply getting them back on the road is all that is required before sending them on their way. Sometimes the job is more complex, and a recovery is needed followed by a tow.

If you think you have what it takes to be a part of our fast paced and growing company, please reach out with your resume. We also welcome calls and walk in interviews.
