In my younger days, I thought it would be kind of cool to be a tow truck driver. After all, you just tow cars from accidents or broken down cars- easy right?
Well, i have been watching a TV show on the Speed Channel called "Wrecked" and they follow the drivers of a Chicago tow company, O'Hare towing. http://www.speedtv.com/programs/wrecked/ and http://www.oharetowing.com/
I never realized how dangerous a job it is to be a tow truck driver and the knowledge you need to able to tow the cars and trucks and in case a bridge. It's not just mechanical knowledge, but you need to be good in geometry and algebra as well. And they operate in every type of weather- rain, snow, cold, heat, night, daytime. It's a tough job mentally and phyically.
So, if you see a tow truck driver working, please be careful of them- more than 1 tow truck driver is killed each year for doing their job.

Wow! I've been a truck tow driver as well and I never really encountered any danger. It's been 10 years now since I started the job. I just hope anyone who wants to be a truck tow driver won't be discouraged to continue. You're right! It's just a matter of being more aware and careful. Round Rock Towing
