Dear Towing Company Owners,

Would you agree that running a towing business has become increasingly tough in recent years?

I’m sure you’ve felt the pressure…

Balancing the demands of 24/7 operations, managing fluctuating fuel and maintenance costs, chasing down payments from insurance companies, and keeping up with ever-changing local and state regulations can be overwhelming.

As a CPA who specializes in helping towing business owners increase profits and maximize cash flow…

I understand the challenges you face when running your business.

But here's something I've noticed across every owner I work with — they have no real way to know if their numbers are good, bad, or somewhere in between.

Towing has had no published financial benchmarks. Restaurants have margin benchmarks. Trucking has cost-per-mile benchmarks. Auto repair shops have ticket-size benchmarks. Towing has had nothing.

So owners run blind. They don't know if their $/call is industry-leading or industry-low. They don't know if their wages-to-revenue ratio is sustainable or quietly killing them. They don't know if their trucks are pulling their weight or if half their fleet is bleeding cash.

That's a problem. Because the difference between a top-quartile fleet and a median fleet is roughly $1M in annual profit for a $3M operator — and the levers that close that gap are knowable. They're just invisible without the data.

That's why my team and I built the 2026 Towing Industry Financial Benchmark Report.

We analyzed 24 towing fleets across the U.S. — 442 active trucks, 440,000+ calls, and $106M in combined revenue. Every account type. Every fleet size. Every key financial metric.

And we built a report that tells you, on every single benchmark, where the industry actually sits — and where the top performers are pulling away from the rest.

Here's what you'll discover inside:
  • ​The exact revenue-per-truck benchmarks by fleet size (small, mid, large) — so you know whether your trucks are generating top-quartile dollars or sitting in the bottom half.
  • ​Industry $/call medians by account type — motor clubs vs. cash calls vs. police rotation vs. private property — and the 4x spread between the highest- and lowest-paying account categories.
  • ​The Capacity Trap — why motor clubs eat 52% of dispatch capacity for only 32% of revenue, and the hidden cost in wear, fuel, driver hours, and insurance miles that almost no one calculates.
  • Driver wage % targets (including payroll taxes) — the exact range top-performing fleets hold, vs. where the industry median is bleeding profit.
  • ​The Operating Margin Gap — why median fleets run at 6.4% while top-quartile fleets hit 19-20%, and what specifically separates the two.
  • ​The 5 financial patterns top-quartile towing companies share — measurable, attainable, and not dependent on more trucks or more market share.
  • ​Account mix diversification paths — exactly which account types (dealerships, commercial fleets, rental car companies, body shops, private property impound) reward fleets that build relationships, and which ones quietly drain capacity.
  • ​The cost of waiting — how much profit slips away every month without industry-level visibility into your own numbers.
