A Tow Truck Driver’s main purpose is to transport vehicles from one place to another, usually because the vehicle is damaged and cannot be operated. In many cases, a vehicle must be retrieved from the site of an accident or breakdown. Tow Truck Drivers are often tasked with performing repairs or reconnecting damaged parts at the scene of an accident. After connecting a vehicle with the tow truck, a Tow Truck Driver is responsible for bringing it to a predetermined location, such as a service center.
