they get paid less when its a AAA call. thats the point of what he is saying.

Didn't he say that he is paid by the hour?

So it would be his employer that is paid less, not him, correct?

[Towdogg]

The garage deal is a perfect example...we're not required to drop it in your driveway or garage, but its the little things like that, that give us tow drivers reason to say "sure, i can place it perfectly straight in your garage" instead of "push it from the street in your garage."  I understand what you guys are saying about paying for a service, but just think, your $75 bucks a year gets you 3 tows, and somethin like 5 service calls (jumpstart, lockout, flat tire, misc...) 

W/O AAA that would be $65/tow, and $45/service call, that comes to $420.   I $5 tip here and there won't kill you.

You still get paid regardless of what i or AAA pay the company. So shut up about it. I don't get whats so hard about that.

Kinda like you got paid and didn't ship the mani lookin nigga.....

I have never heard of a tow truck driver getting paid by the hour

[colt45]

i've had 3 tips in the 4 years working the flatbed... and yes, fuck all yall with AAA

[fysh]

I have AAA and I tip. My dad buys my AAA membership every year for xmas. I have no problems giving what I can if the tow truck driver didn't fuck up my truck/car. Not like it cost me anything for the 100 mile tow.

[schim187]

Thank you fysh...

Depends on the company...i worked two years on the clock for ~60 hours, then the rest was commission.

For the last year I've been straight commission, 25% of the call.  AAA pays us the same to spend 30 seconds to unlock a car as they do to tow an AWD Jeep and have to throw dollies.   25% of 25 dollars...almost 7 dollars.

Awesome.

The fuck you talking about? Shut the fuck up you little nigger.

[Towdogg]

Dont talk about shit you dont know about...... And I wont talk about shit I do know about....

[bluerex]

I got tips all the time in the 3 years I towed, but that's because I knew what the fuck I was doing and made customers wet. Wasn't ever expecting it but it was nice when it happened.

I really enjoyed towing but it's definitely not for everyone.  Also, niggers never tip.

[Corey]

speaking of getting towed, the last time i got towed i swear to god it was spikers brother that was the tow truck driver.

oh and i tipped him $5 on top of the $45 it cost for the tow

[colt45]

if you really appreciate your tow truck driver, just pay in cash

[Stealthmode]

  Whatever a company gets for doing AAA shit has nothing to do with the people who do the job. You took the job, knowing what it pays, and that's that. A tip isn't something anyone should get, outside of crazy cool service, but now certain industries expect it.

  On the flipside, the last tow truck driver I dealt with did back wifemodes car in the garage, and it was Thanksgiving, so I didn't feel bad about tipping him. On a regular day, with a regular service, the best guy in the world can get fucked with the simple "thanks" I extend.

  People bring you a simple pizza, walk you over a drink, and fucken demand a tip. Fucken tow drivers want a tip, and I've been painting peoples' biggest investment for years. Whether I hate you, or treat you like a king, it's super mad rare (every 2 years?) that I get a tip, and I'm surprised when they do. Just saying, our tipping priorities are all fucked anyway.

[t_cel_t]

i just ordered a pizza from dominoes, and during the order the guy asked if i wanted to include the tip on the credit card.
wtf? you want me to tip the driver and i dont even know if my pizza is going to be flipped upside down or 30 min late?
