Thats true, but when you get an extension you have to pay a high interest rate.

Oh, I love a thinker.


If you can't do police/government tows, the first thing I'm thinking about is parking violations, picking up junk cars and towing them to the junkyards, repo's is a good one, towing for auto shops with broke down customers that don't have a truck available, and maybe even get into AAA stuff. It seems like everyone that's in it is doing well.

Do everything that you intend to, and if you fail, it's only more you learn.

--------------------------- is something I started with nothing. I don't think it will ever make me even wealthy, but it allows me to express this "business mentality" that I feel inside of me. It could be something big in the future, but I look at it as "management" training for when I come up with that "life income" idea. It could be my new painting company, or it could be something else, but all in all I would just encourage anyone who feels they have this "mentality" to use it in SOME kind of way. Good luck.

No business that turns high profits is going to be 100% clean. But I know what you mean.
So far I've been calling the state patrol and AAA to see what requirments they have for the towing company before a contract can be made. That and contracts with local auto shops and dealerships... So far its looking like it can be very profitable. Like I said.. we'll see how it ends up in the next 6 months.
