Has anyone ever been a tow truck driver? I have a CDL and am thinking about a possible night gig without being around too many people. I need some Pros & Cons, if you have them ☺️ Please and thank you!

I was like 8 years ago. I drove a flat bed. It was fun.

@newcomen I usually drive a school bus-also fun☺️ However, the next school year seems more and more uncertain. What was your least favorite aspect of the job? And did you drive in the city or suburbs?

@estelaestele92 both but it was in Maryland, not here. Lol. Probably the fact that I worked during the summer and it was HOT GIRL! LMAO

@camisado23437 that's awesome! What makes you stay? Do you ever see female drivers? Got any general advice?

There are a hand full of female drivers I know a couple. I stay because it’s not the same day in day out job. I might be able to help you get in with a company. You have no experience right?

No towing exp--I've been a school bus driver for about a year. Before that I was retail management for about 10 yrs and helped run a kids swim school for about 5 yrs. I have a 7 yr old, and need to be home during the day. I was thinking about evening or overnight jobs so my husband can work during the day. My son going back to school in the fall is up in the air.
