Towing Payroll and HR Software

Payroll, HR, and compliance for tow operators

Würk runs per-hook and commission pay, 24/7 on-call scheduling, and driver credential tracking for towing and recovery companies.

Tow Truck Payroll and Scheduling Built for Around-the-Clock Calls

Towing work happens roadside, around the clock. The motor vehicle towing industry averaged nearly 43 deaths per 100,000 workers from 2011 to 2016, more than 15 times the private industry rate, according to NIOSH. Würk is a workforce management platform that simplifies payroll, HR, and compliance for light-duty towing, heavy-duty recovery, and impound operations.

Würk smarter, tow better.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is towing payroll and HR software and what does it include?

Towing payroll and HR software centralizes hiring, scheduling, time tracking, and payroll for tow companies that run calls around the clock. For towing specifically, it handles per-hook and commission pay, 24/7 on-call rotations, drivers who rarely visit the office, and tracking for commercial driver’s licenses, medical certifications, and safety training, which general-purpose payroll tools handle poorly. Würk is a workforce management platform that brings payroll, HR, and compliance together for light-duty towing, heavy-duty recovery, and impound operations.

How are tow truck drivers paid?

Tow companies pay drivers hourly, by the hook or job, on commission, or with a mix of these, often adding on-call pay and bonuses. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), per-job and commission pay must still meet the minimum wage for nonexempt employees. Würk runs payroll using custom piece-rate formulas, hook fees, commissions, on-call rates, and bonuses alongside standard hourly wages, so every pay structure runs through one payroll.

Do tow truck drivers get overtime?

It depends on the vehicle and the work. The FLSA’s Motor Carrier Act exemption removes overtime for many drivers, helpers, loaders, and mechanics under Department of Transportation authority. Under the small vehicle exception, overtime still applies in any workweek an employee works on vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or less, according to the Department of Labor. Dispatchers and office staff are not covered by the exemption. Employers determine each role’s status, and Würk applies the overtime rules they configure for each driver and job.

Can Würk handle scheduling for a 24/7 on-call rotation?

Yes. Würk gives dispatchers real-time visibility to manage rotating shifts and 24/7 emergency calls for roadside, recovery, and impound teams. Schedules, time off, and timesheets sit in one place, and visibility into hours worked helps managers spot driver fatigue and coverage gaps before calls go unanswered.

How does Würk support DOT and state licensing requirements?

Würk tracks commercial licenses, medical certifications, and safety records so towing companies can keep audit-ready documentation. That matters for heavy-duty operators who hold commercial driver’s licenses: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules require employers to query the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse before hiring a CDL driver and annually for all currently employed CDL drivers. Würk keeps credential status and training histories in one place so renewals and reviews do not depend on paper files.

Does the mobile app work for drivers who are never in the office?

Yes. The Würk mobile app lets operators log their time, view payroll breakdowns, and check pay stubs right from the truck, without visiting the office or filling out paperwork. GPS time tracking records hours across multiple locations and cost centers.

Can Würk manage payroll across multiple states if our trucks cross state lines?

Yes. Würk supports multi-state payroll, so taxes, withholdings, and reporting stay aligned with each jurisdiction where drivers work.

Is Würk built for small towing companies?

Yes. Würk scales to match your business, from a small light-duty roadside fleet to a multi-regional operation. The platform is built to reduce manual errors as you grow.
