How Tow Rig Owners Earn $1,500-$5,000 Per Big-Asset Job with USA Federal Junk Removal

Turn Your Tow Rig Into a Profit Machine

If you're running a tow truck or rollback, you already know the bread-and-butter work: roadside assistance, impounds, dealership runs. Good money, but the real paydays come from big-asset jobs—hauling abandoned vehicles, boats, RVs, construction equipment, and commercial scrap. That's where USA Federal Junk Removal comes in.

Since 1993, we've been connecting property owners, businesses, and municipalities with reliable haulers who can tackle jobs the average junk removal crew can't handle. And we pay serious money for serious work: $1,500 to $5,000 per job for owner-operators who can move heavy, awkward assets that require a real tow rig.

Why Big-Asset Jobs Pay Better

The math is simple. A pickup truck hauling household junk might clear $200-400 per job. But when you're pulling a 30-foot travel trailer off a commercial lot, removing a non-running excavator from a foreclosed property, or clearing a marina's abandoned boats, you're solving a problem most haulers can't touch.

These jobs pay more because:

  • Specialized equipment required – Your tow truck, wheel lift, or rollback is worth its weight in gold on these jobs
  • Higher liability – You're moving assets worth thousands, sometimes tens of thousands
  • Urgent timelines – Property managers and developers need these eyesores gone yesterday
  • Disposal complexity – Scrap value, title issues, and environmental considerations all factor in

We've been in the hauling business for over 30 years, and we know what owner-operators bring to the table. You're not just a truck with a hook—you're a problem solver.

The Jobs USA Federal Sends Your Way

When you join our hauler network, you get access to jobs that match your equipment and capabilities:

Abandoned Vehicles

Dealership lots, apartment complexes, storage facilities, and municipal impound overflow. We're talking cars, trucks, vans—sometimes running, often not.

Boats and Marine Equipment

Marinas and lakefront properties regularly need derelict boats removed. These jobs often involve trailers, too, which means double the revenue.

RVs and Travel Trailers

These are gold. Property owners hate them sitting on their land, and most junk haulers can't move them. You can.

Heavy Equipment

Non-operational excavators, forklifts, scissor lifts, and farm equipment. If you've got a heavy-duty rig and the know-how, these jobs can push into the $5,000 range.

Commercial Scrap

Industrial HVAC units, generators, metal fabrication scraps—bulky stuff that needs a professional hauler, not a guy with a pickup.

What We Look For in Hauler Partners

We're selective because our reputation depends on it. Here's what you need to work with USA Federal:

  • Proper equipment – Tow truck, rollback, wheel lift, landoll, or heavy hauler
  • Valid commercial insurance – Liability and cargo coverage
  • Business license and DOT compliance – You're a legitimate operator
  • Reliability – Show up on time, communicate clearly, finish the job
  • Disposal know-how – You understand scrap value, title transfer, and proper disposal

We're not interested in side-hustlers with a borrowed trailer. We need pros who treat this like the business it is.

How the Money Works

No bidding wars. No haggling. We quote the customer based on the job scope, and you get a clear, upfront rate. Jobs are priced based on:

  • Asset type and size
  • Distance to disposal or scrap yard
  • Labor and equipment requirements
  • Disposal fees and scrap offsets

Most single-asset jobs pay $1,500-$3,000. Multi-asset jobs or heavy equipment can hit $5,000 or more. You get paid when the job's done—direct deposit, no chasing checks.

Why Owner-Operators Choose USA Federal

You could hustle for jobs on your own, sure. But here's what you get working with us:

  • Steady workflow – We've been generating leads since 1993
  • Pre-qualified customers – No tire-kickers, just people ready to pay
  • Established pricing – You're not leaving money on the table
  • Support when you need it – Dispatch, customer service, and payment processing handled
  • Flexibility – Take the jobs you want, skip the ones you don't

We built this network on the backs of reliable owner-operators. The guys who show up, do the work right, and don't make excuses. If that's you, we need you.

How fast do I get paid? Typically within 7-10 business days after job completion and documentation submission.

Can I choose which jobs to take? Absolutely. You're an independent contractor. Accept the jobs that make sense for your equipment and schedule.

⚠Required notice
Licensing varies by city & state. We do not claim to be pre-licensed in every jurisdiction we appear to serve. Where local permits/credentials are required and we can't reasonably obtain them in time, we sub-contract a properly licensed local operator. Mobile homes, motorhomes, RVs & campers: Portland OR, Vancouver WA, and a growing list of cities now require certified asbestos testing before haul or demolition. If a sample comes back hot, abatement adds thousands in cost and unlicensed handling can carry up to one year in county jail. We do not haul around the law — we comply or we hand off.
