The duties of a tow truck operator consist of communicating with a dispatcher, driving to the scene of an accident or breakdown, connecting the vehicle to the tow truck, and transporting it back to the service station or junkyard.
The driver will be responsible for attaching the disabled vehicle to the tow truck.
Depending on the type of tow truck, this may include using a chain, winch, steering locks, and other devices as well as affixing lights onto the towed vehicle.
Drivers will interact with customers, speaking to them about their automotive problems, potentially diagnosing the cause, and providing necessary assistance.
As such, a tow truck operator will need to be able to communicate well and will need to have a basic knowledge of cars and automotive parts.
Many tow truck drivers will perform small repairs on the scene of a breakdown such as changing tires, reconnecting parts, or jumpstarting the car.
Some familiarity with automotive maintenance and repair may be required, but most of it can be learned on the job.
The driver will also have to write up reports of services rendered and accept payments.
Candidates must have a valid driver’s license and a record of safe driving to become a tow truck operator.

Prior work experience isn’t required, but having experience in trucking or automotive repair is always a plus.
A basic understanding of cars and automotive maintenance is another advantage
