Job Bank's national median for tow truck drivers is $26.42 an hour, about $55,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The low is $19.45 and the high is $37. Job Bank files tow truck drivers with transport truck drivers under one code, so these are figures for the whole group. Some towing jobs pay a commission on each call, so ask exactly how pay works before you take one.
