Contractor FAQ
Questions Answered
Still have a question? Call 469-617-2028 and ask about contractor work.
Both. Every role is open to employees (W-2) and independent contractors (1099). If you have your own truck and tools, contracting is a great fit.
Employees work set shifts with the team. Independent contractors bring their own truck, tools and insurance, choose their hours and get paid per completed job.
Only as an independent contractor. Contractors bring their own service, tire or tow truck and tools. Employees need basic hand tools — tell us what you have on the form.
Contractors do. Contractors carry their own business insurance — such as general liability and commercial auto. If you don't have it yet, apply anyway and we'll tell you what you need.
Employees receive regular pay. Contractors are paid per completed job at rates agreed upfront. We go over pay on your first call.
Dallas–Fort Worth, Las Vegas and Oakland — our three service regions. You choose the zone you want to cover.
Yes. As an independent contractor you're free to work with other clients. We just ask that you show up for the jobs you accept.
Only if your tow truck or service truck requires one. Most mechanic and tire service trucks don't.
