Like Tooth Fairies Only When You've Broken Down On The Road Do Recovery Lorries Come To Thoughts

Most drivers would have needed the services of a recovery lorry at some point in their life as a broken down vehicle can occur at any time. This is a good business to go into and the pay is also not bad. The only thing is that you will never know when someone may need your services. Most recovery lorries are available 24 hours a day seven days a week, so if you have young children or your partner is expecting, it may not be the best job to take on. Most recovery businesses are small usually with one or two trucks and are self employed.

There are many types of recovery lorries - smaller lorries for standard car towing and larger vehicles suited to lifting articulated lorries. Due to the wide range of different models available, choosing the right one could lead you to a niche market. The emergency services also need specialist recovery lorries when there is a major accident and vehicles need to be moved for safety.

Buying a recovery lorry

Recovery lorries can be as cheap as £1,000 or as expensive as £50,000 as it depends on the make, year manufactured and its use. The smaller and simpler recovery lorries suitable for cars and bikes are cheaper and costs about £120 for a call out. The rates differ from company to company but always agreed before they come out.

Always keep a few recovery lorry details in your car as you will never know when having this number will be a lifesaver. Get a few from the local paper as they tend to be cheaper than the bigger companies.
