Tilt tray - towies?

[336LJ]

Is it a shit job? I wouldnt mind doin it I heard the pay is pretty good. and I like the idea of pickin up all kinds of free shit for scrap or smash to pieces in my spare time.
I'd really be keen to offer some kind of no bullshit car/bike interstate transport also if it came to it actually get peoples gear transported in one piece, a guy round here does it and gets shit loads, but he's a bit of a rough cunt, mate of mine had his brand new car roll off the back of the truck after it broke down, and they tried to cover it up.

another mate was talkin to an RACQ driver and he kind of works for them but gets a % of the cost of the tow. reckons it aint bad, especially in shit weather wen all the retards run off the road and u get more of a cut.

also - trucks are fucking expensive!! so I'd want to be sure I'd be able to make money to pay back some kind of business loan.

Sick of workin for some fuck makin them rich. But trying to get an idea on the rego, insurances, upkeep, and general shitness of the work.

if anyone has any idea that would be good.

first you need to get forearm extensions so your knuckles drag along the ground and then you need to learn how to anally rape people with no lube on the cost of towing the car 20 km.

..get a van do bike recovery / transport and fuck the towies

[ej03]

Towies have to be hard cunt's. Use to deal with some down in Melbourne and once you get them talking they will tell you about the accidents, washing the blood of the deck etc. Some of it isn't pretty work. Now i deal with the Guys that tow the big stuff, B doubles etc Nice bunch of blokes. If you want some idears of costs let me know, work out your budget then add 30/50% to get started.
Good working for yourself, don't disregard being a Subbie as it's a good way to get into the indrustry and they provide the work......

there's no more blues over tows around here and I thought everywhere had been zoned I used to drive 1 about 7-8 years ago and it was like what you guys say races and blues to get the tow but then the industry said righto this tow truck gets this are and this 1 this area and so on so no more racing to beat each other literally and as far as rego I'm not sure about Qld but TT plates here are big dollars I agree with whoever said do bike retrievals get a van ot dyna or something

I was just thinking that this morning, I'm ressurecting the L300.
Thats more my idea of a job, cause I know what its like to have someone fucking drop ur shit when uv entrusted it to them.
I was talkin to a guy at the local bike shop, suzuki dealer. someone they know drives up and goes "hey do u guys use [insert local transport company] for ur new bikes?
He says yeah whys that
"oh well I just watched them tip a huge box with Suzuki writtin all over it off the side of the truck"
Brand new GSXR!
Freight companies, especially star trak, and all the big name time is money groups are a bunch of retarded cunts.

yeah Thats kind of a scene I'm probably not keen on seeing very often. Would have to go get the licences too!
are you in that area of work?

[Weaselman]

getting a licence is hard as nowadays
Try and get a job with a company that has a few trucks and a contract with NRMA or RACQ as they have the regular work

[Shadowzone]

Dude if you really want a job as a Towie go and see Ready. They're always chasing staff, they pay you wages and so you are an employee with entitlements, they pay for the truck and they'll provide you with the training you need to get kicked off.

You can basically decide from there if it's the gig for you or not without any real risk and after a while you can look at subbying to them if you enjoy it.

if your serious try working for a towie first [youll need a towing licence down here its about 150bucks and simple test ] then youll make contacts and get an idea of what your letting yourself in for ..and costs etc
