Copart is a good start but also remember there is iaa aution insurance too is bigger than copart auction salvage cars and also there is junk yard buy 1 car for 100$ take it to the junk yard you get 3 to 4 hundred dollars maybe more depends what kind of car and condition of the vehicle....👍
Where are you located that scrap prices are that high ? They havent been that high here in Ohio for about 5 years. Its only $50 now a ton now copmared to what was $200 plus, thats why I got out of the business.
So I got my DOT number and CA number but waiting for permit, I did filled up the application can I start operating or should I wait for my permit to come?
What a load of shit. Nobody cares about how much a tower thinks he's worth or how he feels. People look for the lowest price and since there's competition that price will stay low. Listen to this guy and you will go broke
Remember tow-truck drivers if the police tell you,, you can steal something you can,, and it's okay and you will not be held accountable, . You'll be too busy making money
The police will never tell you to commit a theft 😂 if you are talking about towing away somebody's vehicle there is a lawful reason for it and if it wasn't unlawful you take it up with the police and courts not the towing company that was called out by the police because the tow truck driver doesn't know any better.
The motto of every tow truck company,, IF YOU CAN """"LEGALLY"" ROB ANOTHER ""PERSON"" THEN BY ALL MEANS DO IT, . Because it's legal it must be ""MORAL""!!! And ignorance is bliss too.
So what is my first steps ? My buddy has a nice roll back he's wanting to trade for a mustang I have but I'd like to know what all im getting myself into before i make the trade.
just look them up, most have applications on their websites. I personally don't work with motor clubs because of strict training, licensing, and insurance requirements. all those things add cost. stick to simple cash calls with your locals. save money on overheard and easily afford to charge less while maintaining profits.
not a bad video, but it seems to me, if you can quit towing and be a towing teacher, why Tow? Attitude or not, you somehow making $ to survive?! but last time j needed a tow, driver copped an attitude because i didn’t know East from West. I stated Farking A dudd, im at b blah gas station, exit 51; & major hwy, if you cant find that , i’ll walk. He canceled tow, i got a jump start and then went and bought a new battery
Hi Don, I have a question in regards to bidding for government contracts. How do they work, and is it something I should do? I only have one truck. Thanks
Frankie, usually the governmental agency will send out a Request For Proposal (RFP) when their existing contract(s) is coming to an end. If that's the case here, ensure that you read it thoroughly and that you are compliant with everything inside. RFP's can be quite intensive, and you may not meet the minimum requirements with regards to availability, trucks, employees, training, insurance, etc. As far as, should you participate? That would depend on a whole host of variables. If you're interested in assistance contact us.
@@donarcher5555 Don, thanks so much for the quick response. Although the opportunity sounds good. I don't feel ready to commit to a contract. My company is just getting started. I'm at two years since starting. I would like to get at least two more trucks to start hiring, but wouldn't want to get too deep into debt to get them. Although sometimes I feel I need them because I pass on jobs because I'm busy with other calls.

Did you get your little car towed? Poor boy.

What app can I use to track my drivers' hours that also keeps records of up to 3 years.

Nate Salinas have you tried going to copart or bigger auctions in your area
Jesus Vazquez yes sir
Most ppl/dealers want to pay you 50-60 dollar tows to drive across town. They are crazy.
Nate Salinas DAMM! I was always thought the auctions paid decent
Allowing typos to exist in the video doesn't bode well for you, sir.
Lol. This is dumb.
