Any heavy tow operators here? Questions...

We have one. We bought it several years ago after paying some outrageous towing bills.
LOL...it's sitting out behind the shop ready to go. I think we've used it twice. It worked great and it sure saved us some bucks. More than paid for itself.
Check with your insurance company before you tow anybody but your own equipment. Our insurance goes up like a rocket if we hire out to to tow.

 

I hear what you're saying. I'd just be concerned that you were jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
I've never run a wrecker but I've watched a bunch of them work over the years. It can be hard physical labor in some really crappy conditions. Lots of heavy gear to handle and lots of crawling around underneath.
I've also heard truck owners claim that the wrecker did more damage to the truck than the wreck itself did. That's probably sour grapes but maybe it's something to think about.
I'm sure your future boss has things in place to deal with situations like that.

 

My old neighbor drove a rollback.
He was gone so much I thought he was a truck drive

 

Hey buddy. You’ve been doing night linehaul? Just curious as to what you’ve been going through. I’ve done that shift as well. It sucks but I know the money is right. However, if your health slips, what’s the point? Not being nosey, just curious. I’ve always enjoyed your posts and input.

 

You should also be looking for 100k/yr., zero night work, 9-5 schedule, 27 days off a year, no more paying taxes, smokin hot blonde to ride in the passenger seat with you.

Might as well go for broke.
