- Part 2 of 2, walking you through the off-loading of a low/lowered vehicle. This could be due to a flat tire, or the style of the car that requires you to perform extra, cautionary steps for a safe and damage-free tow.
This free course covers everything you need to know to become a successful tow truck operator in 2020 - 2021.
I explain how the truck operates, daily inspections, tricks of the trade and what equipment you'll be using day to day.
I also walk you through specific circumstances from start to finish, so that you can practice over-the-shoulder of a PRO.
Lastly, I walk you through my customer service process and share a few tips from my 30+ years in the towing industry.

So great to hear and I really appreciate that!
I’m new to the business my first truck ever I’m watching these videos religiously
23 and a half hour towing. You gonna take your half hour lunch break😂😂
Love the videos.
Those ramps that you have are a great idea. I actually built something like that for my Corvette as I change my oil myself on it and didn't want to pay $200 for a stupid car jack.
Great videos! Ive watched all your videos and learned a lot. I've tried to get into the towing business to become a tow truck driver but so far haven't had much luck.Could you do a video loading and off loading a car or pick up truck from a wrecker? And loading and off loading a car or pick up truck with a flat tire or missing tire using a wrecker ?
Thanks for your time very informative. Great content .
Thank you!
I want to buy race ramps but they’re expensive. I wouldn’t mind building a set like yours. I currently use 2 4X4x36 pieces of wood and my skates flipped upside down at the end to act like a ramp to get onto the wood.
I see you have an aluminum bed.What’s the difference between aluminum and a steel bed,and what’s the pros and cons between them?
why the different boards in your lifts, one wood piece is just three planks? is there a reason, I built the 4 plank version they are heavy as heck, I got solid wood, in retrospect the lighter pieces might have been better, but it cost my 8$ to make both of them not including the screws got damaged wood from Home Depot. I just built my own truck 2012 terra Star Rollback to tow cars. Used your video's to refresh and show me the best ways, I have towed 35 years plus this is my second build. My first truck was a Holmes 480 with electric wheel lift, my first owned was a 440 Holmes Ford 350 4x4. I am a real tow truck driver, lol. Do you know what a cradle is?
How would this work if you couldn't start the vehicle
How would u get it to roll back off the blocks if it doesn't run and its to heavy to push ?
I came to make the same comment.
My car is super low.
The tow guy didn’t want to use ramps
I was not there when he took my car off and my front left skirt is smashed- looks like it hit from below and folded the plastic skirt- there is a big horizontal crease in my left front corner of the bottom skirt
What size are the wood ramps ?
My front left skirt has a huge crease from being unloaded - the tow truck guy didn’t want to use ramps to load my Maserati- I wasn’t there when he unloaded it
There is an incredible crease fold damage in my hard plastic front skirt- It’s a mess- please advise
Hi. Would a skate on the flat tire serve the same purpose as the lumber plates?
Also, would I use your method on this vid for a low clearance car such as a corvette? Thanks.
Skates are to deplete resistance. Nd yes same method for low profile vehicles
Skates would not have the same effect as the lumber plates, and yes.
Doin wrong way sir
