Should females drive Tow Truck? I want too!  email this discussion to a friend?

Tow truck drivers have never ending work. Every day while listening to the police scanner I hear of multiple wrecks in my county and tow truck companies being dispatched left and right. My man is a tow truck driver and he stays very busy, so busy in fact that i am considering becoming a tow truck driver myself, if nothing else to help him and his fathers business out. He thinks it would be neat, hard work but that I would do good. I too think I would, but I do think the men who I have to go and tow will be to happy about it, especially if one can not change his own car tire and i have to do it for him. LOL that wil make my whole day. lol

So what do you think about a female tow truck driver? Would you want her or me to tow your car or truck or recover it from over a cliff. Don't let appearance hinder your decision, Girls are way more capable than most think.

Sure, why wouldn't I want a female to tow my vehicle? The towing of a vehicle is done by using mechanical devices, it has nothing to do with brute force, so why couldn't anyone be able to do it.

Of course I wouldn't want anyone to tow my vehicle if it was due to a traffic violation, such as being parked in the wrong place. Yeah, it may be right, but why would I WANT it.

Apply for the job I say.

Towing takes a lot more out of a person than you think. Sure the PTO pulls the vehicle on the bed of the truck or behind if using a wrecker, but the vehicle has to be hooked up to the tow truck first, that requires the use of J hooks and heavy duty chains, big ones 10 to 15 feet long and NO they are not light. We do not use those worthless ratchet straps like other companies, they a cheap and not nearly as good as chains. I do not feel just anyone can be a tow truck driver, sure anyone can drive a vehicle, but not everyone has the umph and ability to do the demanding work, multiple times a day. Tow truck drivers are dirty and big for a reason, it is a demanding job, not as simple as you think, but i do appreciate the encouragement. I will apply for a wreck masters certificate first, then the position. Thanks

I think that women are capable of doing anything that men are. If you aren't afraid of tough work I said go for it. I know that if I had a woman tow truck driver i would be skeptical at first just because i know its not something that I would want to do as a profession but not because I didn't think she could do it.

I mean i know how to change a tire, change my oil, i fix stuff around the house, more than my man does. Just because I grew up getting my hands dirty in the rural virginina while he grew up in the city. So I think that so many people underestimate the power of a woman and what women know how to do and can do. I think most men who you would tow would appreciate a smart, sexy woman who is able to hold her own in tough situations.

Also it is one of the only businesses that still thrives during tough times. It is one of those industries that don't go away when times are hard. Popele still get in accidents, parking spaces get towed. I mean i know apartments in my area that have tow trucks that circle the lots all night every night to see if they can find a car parked their to tow.

So good luck.

You are so right, women can do whatever men can do, sometimes it just takes one women to show others the way, so i am going to go for it and give it a shot, hell i have worked on tractors with my father for 20 years and can fix one better than most farmers, so this is just another profession were I can show that women are just as good. Maybe one day I could have my own tow company with other female drives and pink trucks. LOL

I don't think there's any problem with a woman applying or doing the job. Basically, she doesn't need to pull a broken car herself, she used the device provided. There's no question whether she can or can't. If you want to try the job to help him, I would cheer for you. It might be hard at first since you're not use to it but all work is like that.

Well the job is not entirely that simple, but yes with the right frame of mind anyone can do it. Thanks for commenting, have a great day.

Hello friend,
this is really an interesting concept. I have not heard this before but looking at it practically, I don't see any reason why you should be stopping yourself. When women can drive as well as men do, they surely can master the tow truck as well.
All the best!

Thank-you very much for your nice, encouraging words.
Have a great day

Sure ,if female tow truck driver know what she is doing and can haul my car the right way during break down. It is not your gender that make me want you or not, it is your skill and knowledge of how not to mess up my transmission and break system during towing that count . lol!!lol

You are right , some tow truck guys are making so much money by towing people car illegally in the apartment complex around my area, they are making all the good guys look bad. Every night these thieves came to our apartment complex looking for car to steal, i saw their action first hand, a car can be gone in a matter of five to ten minutes. The only way to prevent them is to shoot them , there are several class action law suits in my city regarding tow truck company for illegally towing people car, and still problem continue to take place, that is why these as* holes are busy all the time, they are making big buck $$ in a day from extorting car owners with $150 -$200 for having their cars back from impound warehouse. angry

Sure, I don't see anything wrong with a woman doing a tow driver's job. As long as they are able to do all that physical labor involved. I wouldn't mind if my tow truck driver was female as long as they help me with my car.
