Better have you wits about you if you are doing repos. I guy I worked with a guy years ago had a son who did repo. The son was shot and killed by a guy who was living in the back of a van he tried to repo.
I would take judo lessons first so no worries.
I'd keep a length of air hose under the seat - wield it just like that preacher man talked about here, back a few.
The real money is big hooks. $10k is a start if a truck flops.
Problem is, a nice rotator can set you back well over $750,000. You need a flopped truck monthly just to cover the payment. I used to work for the company that controlled the towing on the Turnpike for a 100 mile stretch.
They made bank on the mountain at the Allegheny tunnel, and A few specific turns East of Breezewood. Also, just towing in and fixing broke cars.
But, the road is much better, and the vehicles are also. The work has fallen considerably.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
My Uncle had a tow service and yard for a long time. He did pretty well but was the only driver so was on call 24/7. He did almost entirely wrecks since we don’t really have any parking laws around here. I think he got $35-$50 bucks for a tow but that was some time ago.
When he died his son tried to keep it going but more or less as a 9-5 gig. He didn’t last long before he folded up. Seems like you have to be available to take what you can get when you can get it, might be different in a metro area.
If you want to get rich towing, move to Cody Wyoming. I was broke down with a bad TCM on the top of Dunraven pass in Yellowstone and called the park service station at Canyon. $800 tow to the park border and the guy from Cody would pick me up and take me to town for another $1,000. I reset the TCM by undoing the battery cables and it made it back to Cody under its own power.

About 200 miles round trip. The park concessionaire is the only one allowed to tow inside the park, and they are not allowed to tow outside the park. So, they would have taken me to the east gate and a Cody tow would have gotten me from there. I expected the park part to be high, but the $1,000 from the east gate to Cody seemed awful stiff. The trip from Cody to the east gate is 52 miles one way.

Dave, good to see you trying to better your financial condition. There's some good basic information on here that should help you get yourself headed in the right direction. The good news is you can subscribe and watch more videos (not limited to tow trucks). Best of luck.

I’d set up in Texas, near Houston. They all speed and drive like shît down there. 100 car pile up noted.
