I just did my first paid tow tonight ! I have had 2 other tow trucks in the past, but they were more or less lot trucks, and for moving my own junk around .
It took some legwork to get a truck, make it legal, get plates, and pay the insurance man $$$.
Im in pretty deep now, but made my first 150 tonight , easiest buck and half I ever made .
I drag my 6 year old with me everywhere I go ..
I have spent a lifetime watching the tow truck drop off vehicles in my lot ,it was only natural for me to salivate over some of the sweet KW and Peterbuilt medium duty trucks that come in and out every day
I am pretty sure this is how I will do a partial retirement . I have stood on a concrete slab for 30+ years hustling out car repairs . I think I am nearing the end of that journey , at least in the capacity that I have been doing it
The benz was paid, I hauled my old SC home last week for my test tow .
There have been times, where I thought about closing and just getting a gravy state job, but at this point, I am running with the ball right up till lunchbreak on the day of my death . Wish me luck
