Tow Truck

By the RPBazzar teamUpdated September 9, 2026

Written from the live server data for this feature — locations, recipes and prices are read straight from the jobs setup, not estimated.

Tow Truck is a steady, no-stress legal earner: clock on at the Davis auto shop, take the flatbed, and go recover broken-down cars from all over the map. The further out the car sits and the more expensive it is, the better the call pays.

Overview

  • Type: Legal recovery job — solo
  • Where: Auto shop in Davis, recovery calls across the whole map
  • Payout: Roughly $920–$2,620 per call, in clean cash — more at higher levels
  • Risk: None — fully legal, no timer

Requirements

  • No level needed. All 15 recovery calls are open from your first shift — your level only adds +$120 per level to every fee.
  • No whitelist — anyone can clock on.
  • The flatbed is provided free, with the keys already in it.

Required item:

Item Spawn code Where to get Price
TowTruck Tablet towtruck_tablet The shop ped beside the auto-shop worker, 381.97, -1624.12, 28.29 $100

The tablet is where you pick your calls. /towtruck opens the same menu, so the item is a convenience rather than a gate — both only work while you're on duty.

How to Start

  1. Go to the auto-shop worker in Davis and press [E] to clock on. The flatbed spawns beside you with keys.
  2. Buy the tow truck tablet ($100) from the ped next door, or just use /towtruck.
  3. Pick a call from the tablet. A broken-down car spawns at that location and gets routed on your GPS.

📍 Locations

  • Start / depot: auto-shop ped 383.38, -1625.03, 29.29 (Davis) — blip "Tow Truck Job". It's an [E] prompt, not a target menu.
  • Tablet shop: 381.97, -1624.12, 28.29, right beside him.
  • Flatbed spawn: 395.15, -1625.97 or 397.04, -1623.66.
  • Drop-off (hand-in): 375.60, -1612.12, 29.29 — the red marker beside the depot.
  • Call sites: the 15 locations below, marked on GPS one at a time.

Step-by-Step

  1. Clock on, buy the tablet, and pick a call.
  2. Drive out to the marked car.
  3. Line the flatbed up directly in front of the car — this is the part people get wrong.
  4. Press [E] to take the hook, [E] again to attach it to the car, then H to winch it onto the bed.
  5. Drive back to the depot, stop on the red marker with the car still on the bed, and press H to hand it over.
  6. Cash and EXP land immediately. Press [E] on the worker again to clock off.

The 15 recovery calls

Pay assumes you take the call standing at the depot. Pay is a normal car; Jackpot is the same call when a supercar spawns instead.

# Call location EXP Pay Jackpot
1 2395, 2868 200 $1,120 $1,720
2 2942, 3782 210 $1,370 $2,120
3 2974, 4572 220 $1,520 $2,345
4 1737, 6393 — Braddock, up by Paleto 230 $1,720 $2,620
5 114, 6604 240 $920 $1,220
6 -587, 5694 250 $1,270 $1,870
7 -2273, 4276 240 $1,220 $1,820
8 -2655, 2738 230 $1,170 $1,770
9 -3138, 1091 220 $1,120 $1,720
10 -1793, 763 210 $1,070 $1,670
11 654, 770 300 $1,020 $1,620
12 1046, 706 333 $1,020 $1,620
13 394, -644 — closest to the depot 500 $920 $1,520
14 1356, -584 450 $970 $1,570
15 874, -507 250 $970 $1,570

Add +$120 per level to every figure — a level 7 driver earns $720 more on every call.

  • Best money: call #4 — biggest base fee and the longest drive, but it's an 8 km run out and a loaded tow back.
  • Best EXP: call #13 — 500 EXP and it's barely a kilometre from the depot. #14 is second.
  • You can't repeat a call until you've cleared all 15.
  • A full 15-call cycle is roughly $17,400 at level 1.

What You Get & Where to Sell It

Cash only — no loot, no items, nothing to sell. The fee is paid the moment you drop the car on the marker.

Your fee is built from four parts:

Part How it's worked out
Mileage $50 for every kilometre between you and the car when you take the call
Base fee $200–$600, fixed per call
Vehicle class A multiplier on the base fee — SUVs ×1.2, vans ×1.5, sports ×1.4, supercars ×2.5
Level bonus +$120 per level

The car is picked at random from a 25-model pool, so class is luck. There are three supercars in that pool — those are the jackpot pulls.

💰 Cost vs Reward

Amount
Investment (one-time) $100 tablet
Cost per run $0 — the flatbed is free
Reward per run $920–$2,620 at level 1, up to ~$3,340 at level 7
Break-even Your first call
After that ~$17,400 per full 15-call cycle, clean, with zero risk

Tips & Common Mistakes

  • Nose the flatbed straight at the car. If you approach at an angle the winch won't grab it — this is the single most common mistake on this job.
  • Take the far calls from the depot. Mileage is paid on the distance between you and the car at the moment you accept it, so standing next to a call before taking it pays you nothing.
  • Run #13 and #14 for levelling, the northern calls for money.
  • Any player can call you. /helpflatbed broadcasts a tow request to on-duty drivers — it pays nothing, but it's the best roleplay this job has.
  • Motorcycles, boats, planes, helis and industrial vehicles can't go on the bed.
