1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    You are right again..



    Everytime somebody posts a job on here,

    folks try to pick it apart !!!!

    Maybe that's why not many jobs get posted anymore !!

    Nah - wasn't trying to pick it apart, just thought heavy duty towing was more of a "specialty", thus more lucrative.

    It usually is.... except for bottom feeder companies - I was fairly spoiled during my first few years in towing.. great pay, new trucks, competent owner...

    And then found out that most towing companies are populated by cheapskate moron owners, with moron employees.... usually those that USED TO have driving jobs... but wanted to smoke and drink regularly... and feared random tests.
