Complex Accident Scenes

WHEN THE BIGGEST RIGS GO DOWN... WE SEND THE BEST. HEAVY WRECKER & ROTATOR OPERATORS Interstate Towing | Full-Time & Part-Time $25–$35/hour, based on experience PAID WEEKLY IMMEDIATE OPENINGS — START NOW 1st, 2nd, 3rd & Weekend Shifts Available DRIVE WITH THE BEST. Recover What Others Can’t.

A loaded tractor-trailer rolls over. A commercial vehicle leaves the roadway. A heavy truck goes down in the worst possible place. Traffic is stacking up, the scene is complicated, and somebody needs to know exactly what they’re doing. That’s when Interstate gets the call. And that’s when you go to work.

Interstate Towing is hiring experienced Heavy‑Duty Wrecker & Recovery Operators who know how to handle serious equipment, difficult scenes, and the responsibility that comes with both.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:
  • Respond to Dispatch and arrive safely, prepared, and ready to work
  • Operate heavy‑duty wreckers, rotators, and recovery equipment
  • Recover tractors, trailers, commercial vehicles, and equipment from accidents, breakdowns, rollovers, and complex scenes
  • Perform winching, rigging, lifting, uprighting, and recovery operations
  • Assess each scene and determine the safest, most effective recovery approach
  • Transport recovered vehicles to customer destinations, repair facilities, or impound yards
  • Complete thorough truck and equipment inspections
  • Perform preventive maintenance and report mechanical defects immediately
  • Maintain accurate paperwork and clean, detailed recovery documentation
  • Follow all applicable size, weight, route, hours‑of‑service, DOT, and company safety requirements
  • Communicate professionally with Dispatch, customers, law enforcement, first responders, and others on scene
  • Represent Interstate like a professional every time you step out of the truck

THE TRUCK PROVIDES THE POWER. THE OPERATOR PROVIDES THE JUDGMENT.

The easy recoveries aren’t what separate the great operators. It’s what you do when the scene doesn’t go according to plan. The angle is bad. The weather is getting worse. Traffic is backing up. The load has shifted. The equipment isn’t sitting where you need it. Your first plan isn’t going to work. What happens next? A skilled recovery operator doesn’t panic. You assess. Communicate. Re‑rig. Reposition. And make the right call. No shortcuts. No unnecessary risks. No ego. Just experienced operators doing difficult work the right way.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
  • Valid Class A CDL
  • Proven experience operating heavy‑duty wreckers
  • Real‑world heavy recovery experience
  • Strong winching and rigging skills
  • Experience handling rollovers and complex recovery scenes
  • The judgment to adapt when the job doesn’t go according to plan
  • Clean driving record with no recent moving or driving violations
  • Comfortable using electronic equipment, dispatch systems, and telematics software
  • Ability to operate safely around traffic, weather, heavy equipment, and changing roadside conditions
  • Strong communication and customer‑service skills
  • Reliability — when the call comes in, we need you ready

We especially want to hear from operators experienced in:

  • Rotator Recoveries
  • Advanced Rigging
  • Tractor‑Trailer Rollovers
  • Heavy Commercial Recovery
  • Heavy Equipment Recovery
  • Complex Incident Management
  • Police, Fire & Highway Scene Coordination

The more recovery experience you bring, the more opportunity there is to put it to work.

When you arrive, the customer may be having one of the worst days they’ve had in a long time. Their truck is down. Their equipment may be damaged. Their load may be compromised. Traffic may be stopped. They may have no idea what happens next. You do. That means being calm. Being professional. Explaining what needs to happen. Taking control of the recovery. And representing Interstate Towing like a professional from the moment you arrive until the scene is clear. You’re not just recovering equipment. You’re helping make a bad situation right.

Interstate Towing is part of the NETC Fleet Services family — one of New England’s fastest-growing names in towing, recovery, fleet, and commercial truck service, with operations across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.

We run good equipment. We back our people. And we’re growing. For skilled recovery operators, that means the opportunity to build more than a schedule.

  • PAID EVERY WEEK
  • Immediate Openings — Start Now
  • 1st, 2nd, 3rd & Weekend Shifts Available
  • Full-Time & Part-Time Opportunities

  • A Team That Respects Skilled Operators

Heavy recovery is a craft. You have to know the equipment. Understand the rigging. Respect the forces involved. Know when to pull. Know when to lift. Know when to reposition. And most importantly... Know when to stop and rethink the plan. We’re looking for professionals who take pride in leaving behind a clean recovery, a cleared scene, and a job done right.

CAN YOU RECOVER CLEAN?
