Tow Truck Driver

24 hours ago

Portland, United States Ritchie Bros. Full time
Job Description

At IAA, our tow truck drivers are dedicated to delivering top-notch towing services. They handle inbound and outbound towing of light-duty vehicles, such as motorcycles and travel trailers, for a diverse customer base. Timely pickup and delivery of vehicles, communication with customers and dispatchers, and completion of all necessary paperwork, including title verification, are integral parts of their responsibilities.

Our drivers are committed to meeting performance goals, ensuring safe and damage-free towing, and performing minor mechanical functions for the proper operation of tow trucks. They operate company vehicles safely, complying with all safety regulations and licensing requirements. Responsible for maintaining towing equipment and accessories in good condition, drivers conduct regular equipment inventory as directed by management

In addition to towing duties, drivers may be assigned yard attendant or loader operator functions as needed. With a primary focus on safety, they embrace technology and stay at the forefront of the auction industry. Flexibility is key, as drivers may be required to travel to Catastrophe events or branch support operations, with deployment notice provided by management, though it may be limited and could require less than 24 hours' notice

  • Remaining calm, alert, and actively avoiding potential safety hazards or situations that may cause damage to property while operating a front-end loader or other heavy equipment.
  • Constantly maintaining a safe work environment by immediately reporting any violations of company policy to a supervisor or manager.
