I have considered all that but after talking to a number of poleece I was surprised to hear how many people do want to pay on their own and call their own service.
I would have storage, just not the huge lots you see associated with the bigger outfits.
All things to consider and I thank you for your measured and thoughtful reply.
The people who only carry liability insurance are going to have to figure out how to private pay, especially when the cops are telling them to move their heap or the cops will make it disappear. That could be a large pool to draw from in a lot of places.
The storage makes it much more viable. I hadn't understood that from your earlier posts.

Fugk licensing and insurance. Just buy a truck and do it. I bet you make enough before you get caught to pay the fines. Just pass on sketchy tows that might end up shining a light on you.
If you knew me at all you would know that I am not one to flippantly ignore laws or regulations.
It would cause undue stress.
Don't advertise, just word of mouth. Slap some Disney stickers on there, as long as the tag is current on your plate don't sweat it. Keep it under the table till you make enough to go legit, then do the small business loan, apply for China Flu relief money, voila. Hell, I'd come down and drive for you if it doesn't warm the fugk up here soon.
[quote=deflave]I've had access to tow trucks most of my life and they always seem like a relatively easy way to bring in money. Anybody here actually had a primary or side business that strictly did towing? I'm sure having a lot and county or city impound type contracts would be a whole other can of worms, but I'm wondering about strictly towing and dropping. Thanks in advance.
Here is mine - love it. 1970 Chev C30. That thing is beautiful. Do you use it for towing?
Yes, towed my own rigs when necessary and moved/set up a bunch of items/structures at our forest place in NM. I also went out and helped/towed friends when they needed help. Also used it to reach inside someone's old pre-fab home to pick up a huge wood stove and carry it across their property to their lovely new house - dropped the stove on the porch and we rolled it in on pipes. Only put two small dings on back corners in all of that time. I deliberately never towed anyone for money - the nice fellow in town who ran a gas station and repair garage made almost all of his profit with his wreckers, and i wanted to avoided taking any of his business - AND - I did not wish to deal with the State of NM and their licenses/taxes for such stuff. Tow trucks are fun. Fire trucks are more fun.

That's a very nice truck.

Don’t most use roll backs now? Only see a very few wreckers around here, mostly those for tractor trailers. I’ll need to get one as soon as I have my payday title loan joint operational. Hopefully all these unemployed restaurant workers will make for an abundance of victims customers.

I would never consider anything but a rollback but I still see a lot of brand new hooks on the turnpike.
