Traffic is stacking up, the scene is complicated, and somebody needs to know exactly what they're doing. That's when Interstate gets the call. And that's when you go to work. Interstate Towing is hiring experienced Heavy-Duty Wrecker & Recovery Operators who know how to handle serious equipment, difficult scenes, and the responsibility that comes with both.

The easy recoveries aren't what separate the great operators. It's what you do when the scene doesn't go according to plan. The angle is bad. The weather is getting worse. Traffic is backing up.
