Tow truck driver jobs in New Jersey: flatbed and wheel-lift operators, owner-operators and roadside providers, dispatched from Linden

Four ways to work with The NJ Towing Service. Company trucks for employees, dispatched calls for owner-operators and roadside providers, and one 24-hour board across 163 towns within 45 minutes of Linden. Every job is quoted before it is dispatched, so you never argue about money on a shoulder.

How work reaches you

Dispatch runs 24 hours a day from Linden. A dispatcher takes the customer's call, quotes one flat price before anything moves, and sends the nearest available truck or technician. You get the pickup, the destination, the vehicle and the customer's number in the app; you call the customer when you are minutes out; you photograph before and after; the receipt goes out itemized. Nobody quotes on scene and nobody adds fees. That is why the calls keep coming, and why a driver who does the job right gets sent first.

Where you will drive

Every town within about 45 minutes of Linden: Union, Middlesex, Essex, Hudson, Somerset, Morris, Monmouth, Bergen and Passaic counties, 163 towns in all. You will learn the Turnpike exits from 9 to 16, the Parkway from 105 to 159, Routes 1 & 9, 22, 27 and 35, I-78, I-280 and I-287, and the local streets. On the Turnpike and Parkway the shoulder belongs to the Authority's authorized garages; our trucks meet those cars at the exit or in the garage's lot and take them from there.

Employee or contractor

Flatbed and wheel-lift drivers are employees on company trucks: hourly base plus a per-call commission, paid weekly, with a shift differential for nights, weekends and holidays. Owner-operators and roadside providers are independent contractors on their own equipment, paid a fixed share per completed job and settled weekly, choosing their own hours. Each posting spells out what you bring and what we provide.
