So I just got a job starting next week for a Roofing company, Hauling construction debris/waste to the dump. I've never towed a gooseneck trailer. I've towed only bumper hitch so far like boats or rv trailer. Is there a huge difference? Is this something completely different? Any tips would help.
Hey y'all: We're just a few years into towing and still learning. We were called out to recover a pick-up on a mountain road that was 80 feet down a steep embankment. Working on the invoice, but it doesn't seem right to charge it as an 'accident tow'. Sure, I'll add labor, winching, etc., but would love some of your expertise on managing this. Two trucks, 6 hours, etc. It's also awesome some clown stole two of the tires/wheels - so not helpful. Thanks for your help!
So I am moving further upstate in Ky and I need to tow my 2004 Chevy Cavalier with me, I am thinking UHaul but I don’t know if I need a truck and tow or what. Help??
Virginia towing operator here. We run AAA, GEICO, Allstate, HONK, Allied Dispatch, Roadside Protect, etc. We stay busy but honestly it feels like we’re constantly spinning our wheels and breaking even after payroll, insurance, fuel, repairs, chargebacks, and all the overhead.
Trying to figure out what direction actually makes real money in this industry besides motor clubs.
For the guys that scaled successfully, what cash contracts or fleet work changed the game for you?
Apartment complexes?
Police rotation?
Commercial fleets?
Dealership transport?
Government contracts?
Parking enforcement?
Repossessions?
Municipal work?
Auction transport?
Private property impounds?
Logistics companies?
I feel like motor clubs keep us alive but not really growing. Would appreciate real advice from operators that got out of the constant break-even cycle.
