Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had any information on becoming a tow truck driver in Canada, mroe specifically Ontario, I searched the internet but could only find a few places in the states that give training. It seems like an interesting career, I enjoy driving but wouldn't want to spend weeks away from home as a truck driver, and I enjoy helping people. Well any light that can be shed on the subject would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I think all you need is your D class licence (not sure) if not, definitely your A-Z you will be fine. I dotn think there is training, just get your licence and apply, or open your own company.

Hope i helped a bit with what little I said haha

Good luck! and i hope you dont have to come tow me some day...

talk to racingrealfire, he drives a flat bed tow truck, he would be able to answer your questions.

i know for flat bed you need a "D" licence but for a normal wrecker a "G" is all you need.
most tow companys can't insure you if your under 25.

Normal Wreaker and NORMAL pick up truck tilt and load you just need a G when you get over the 1 1/2 tonne trucks thats when the D is needed just for weight. then you may as well get DZ so you can air brakes training is basically get someone to teach you to run the truck its not that hard. i just go out with my dad on calls and i can run his truck.

Sweet, just gotta see if anyone will hire me now lol, doubt it, but it's worth a shot.
