Is the towing industry lucrative?

>tow a car parked illegally
>charge $300, cash only for owner to pick the car up

depends, whether you like dealing with happy + satisfied customers all day, or (very) pissed-off meth-hopping rednecks pointing a gun at your temple

The only people who you can hire as tow truck drivers is Tyrone and methhead Craig. You need at least 5 trucks running 24/7 to turn a profit.

Tyrone and Craig will pass out for 2 hours on the way to a tow and say traffic was fucked or something was wrong with the truck. They will then lose 50 of the 250 and say they never got it from the customer

It's great if you can find employees you can trust

>car gone, oh no!

stupid fucking leasing lady didn't tell me they have a towing service, didn't give me the windshield pass, and didn't know which towing service it fucking was.

Had to pay them 400 bucks for parking in my own spot for 30 minutes. They're literally predatory scum that wait around for someone to make a mistake, steal your car, and hold it hostage while you accrue daily storage fees. All of them deserve the rope.

The two problems with towing:
1. Dealing with hyperagressive brainlets, meaning its just a matter of time till you will get shot in the US of A. No its no an exaggeration, and you will be assaulted on the regular whether you're a small or a big dude.
2. Dealing with people who actually know the law. In Cali if your car is parked at a plaza, its the plaza owner who has to call in the tow on your car, and they can only do it after 30 min/1h if I remember right. If you're not good by the law when you tow a car the guy might tie you up in the courts and even pull your license. So good luck selling the truck for cents on the dollar

And now you know why 99% of tow truck drivers are "people" with criminal records/ drug addictions/ other types of trash who have no other choices in life
