- The hook and chain;
- The boom;
- The wheel-lift;
- The integrated tow truck and the flatbed.
Each model will serve a different purpose do. The flatbed for example, instead of dragging the vehicle, it completely holds it in the bed and hauls it away. But in the trucking world they need much bigger models; these will require airbrake endorsements and such.
If you lend a job as a tow truck driver in your first year of driving, consider yourself lucky, because the tow truck driving salary isn’t bad at all!
Dry Bulk Tanker Freight As An Option
So what is a dry bulk tanker truck? Well, to be honest just like the name implies. It is a tanker truck, designed to transport dry goods, but in mass quantity. Some of the more common types of cargo are sand, salt, flour, sugar, and any other similar freight.
This would not be too bad for the rookie truck drivers trying to get some good loads. After all, the load won’t slosh and shift like liquids can (and do).
However the drivers are usually responsible for unloading so there will be some hands on.
Something else to consider there is a limited number of slots so it might be harder to find gainful employment as a dry bulk tanker driver.
