A tow truck driver assists with vehicle accidents and breakdown. They usually rush towards the scene of an accident and then attach the damaged vehicle to their truck and tow back safely to the service station. When unfortunate circumstances happen on the highway a tow truck driver will help you out tow your car to the garage.
Tow truck drivers are not regular bus drivers. The drivers are specially trained to tow a damaged vehicle to another location. They are responsible to attach the damaged vehicle to the towed vehicle. It is their duty to ensure the tow truck is in perfect working condition, so they do maintenance on a routine basis.
Sometimes drivers diagnose and repair minor issues at the roadside itself. They must have knowledge about jump-starting a car, connecting loose wires and replacing spark plugs. Many drivers perform other vehicle repairing tasks when they are not towing.
