When you say you need to make $75 per hour if you have an older truck how many hour day is that $75 based on? For example, 12 hour day at $75 = $900 per day.
@GuardianautoservicesАй бұрын
@stevenintexas6947 based on all overhead / fixed expenses. Current economy is now 100 to 125 a working hr. So when the truck is running it needs to be doing that at minimum to turn a profit

My car got towed last year, and I got charged about $275. That's why we want to get into this business. But you said the motor club one call is $20-30?? I mean it's cheaper than an Uber. How does that make sense and how can it support the business. The insurance is about $3500 a month.
@Guardianautoservices3 ай бұрын
Motorclubs are the Achilles heel of the business. They are needed but as a provider they cannot be your entire business model.

But... I will also say do not get into this business for money or have the thought you can make xxxxxxx amount of money. You will fail or be miserable, maybe both. This is a business that you have to fully enjoy or you won't make it.

I could tell tales about IAA and the unbelievqble amount of non sense and disrespect weve gotten from them since they got bought out a few years back to include dispatching cars they never vetting or called on themselves, demanding us to be on the road more than the law allows, started dispatching cars to us premarked as late, waiting till 3pm or later to dispatch cars and demanding them brought in that day, stopped dispatching work for the next day and started making us wait till 9am or later for our first run, brought in a cat team they were paying 2 grand a day and giving them work before us claiming the cat team was there because we couldnt keep up but we couldnt "keep up" because NO ONE was dispatching but the branch manager and she was waiting so late in the day to even give us work and when we got back with that we would sit around an empty office for an hour or more before she stopped playing on her phone long enough to give us another run. IAA wasnt too bad before... especially if you owned the truck and drove it but now.... I flat out told my boss im done with em dont send me back there and since that convo hes agreed because they started doing it to him as well directly. Anyone thinking of working for this company.... go outside, pull the hood back on your truck, take out the engine and replacebit withbone that doesnt run..... because in a few years when you put 500,000 miles on it thats how its gonna be .... and stay cause they dont pay enough to replace it. If you plan on paying someone to drive your truck .... youll do better selling everything and stocking shelves at walmart unless you plan on never changing the oil or repairing anything that wears out.... and it will... quickly.

Hey man I just wanted to say thanks. I’m a combat veteran that is currently running my dad’s heavy equipment company, I’ve been doing so for 10 years but things are bad with him so it’s time for me to move. I saw all that to say that I’m extremely driven/ hungry (I have a family to feed) and I have been around trucks and equipment my entire life so having a tow truck is some sort has always been a low key dream of mine. I’d love a rotator but I don’t have the experience or a million dollars. I think if I get a truck I’m going to buy a light duty like a ram 5500 or a small Kenworth. I’ll comment more but I really appreciate your information your passing on. It’s great info and I like that you’re prefacing all of this with saying “hey this is how we do it here, that doesn’t mean that’ll work where you are.”. Cheers man

Good luck! It's a great business if your heart is in it. Buy the biggest piece of equipment that will do the most work. I wouldn't buy an f550 unless its a twin line wrecker. But any questions please ask. Im going to try to do more videos as i have time. Just been busy with transports

Keep looking. Not sure of your area but the larger companies or even the local AAA contractor usually will hire. As much as AAA is hated in the industry, it's typically less hectic calls which is good for someone learning before you get thrown at recovery jobs

Awesome advice. Only thing I learned with my first rollback. Make sure your business insurance is covers what you haul. Most towing policies DO NOT cover moving containers or non automotive cargo. You do not want to be moving something and have a bad day and your insurance not cover, and most likely drop you.
