Section 148(b) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law defines a tow truck as “[a] motor vehicle that tows or carries a disabled,  
illegally parked or abandoned motor vehicle or a motor vehicle involved in an accident.”

depends on what he uses the truck for…I ask this because we use rollbacks at our work and I’m almost positive none of our drivers have a tow endorsement

Zero Tolerance means Zero all the time, not just while driving said large vehicle. Meaning, the law is heavy handed just for you posessing the license

I don’t have a CDL… But I work with 50+ CDL drivers daily and help maintain certain parts of their DQ files :thumbup

If you can get your class A you might as well. The written tests are easy either which way.

If I remember right tow endorsement is just a written test.  
Judging by half the guys I see/know that have one its not all that hard to get.

btw if im not mistaken dot physical is not required unless… your going outside of a 150 mile radius, or towing cars accross state line. could be wrong on that but its something you can check into, because you may not have to have the dot physical.
