Roadside jobs near you, by text
TowXpress sends boost, lockout, tire-change and fuel requests from across the GTA to independent operators who hold Ontario tow certificates. You choose your areas and services. When a job comes in you get one text and one link, and the first to accept gets it.
Text in, tap, take it
1. A text arrives
Service, city and vehicle, from the TowXpress line, with one link.
2. See the job
Where it is, what is needed, and any notes. No app to install.
3. Accept it
Set your ETA and your price, or reply YES. First to accept gets the job.
4. Call the customer
Their name, number and a map are yours. Mark it done when you finish.

First 60 days
Free
Every job you accept in your first 60 days after approval costs nothing.
Pay per job
$15
For each roadside job you accept after that. Quiet month, small bill.
Or a flat month
$79
A month for as many roadside jobs as you take. Best once you are busy.
Jobs you give back, jobs the customer cancels and jobs that turn into a tow are never counted. TowXpress never takes anything for a tow.

Before you join
I run a tow truck. How do I join?
Apply online in a few minutes. We check your certificate and insurance and text you when you are approved.
Do I have to take every job?
No. You see the job first and only take the ones that suit you.
How do jobs reach me?
By text from the TowXpress line, with one link. Tap it to see the job and accept it, or reply YES. The first to accept gets it.
What does it cost?
Joining is free, and your first 60 days of jobs are free. After that you pick: $15 for each roadside job you accept, or $79 a month for as many as you take. No contract, and you can switch or leave any time.
How do I pay TowXpress?
After your free 60 days, we text you a short summary each month: the jobs you accepted and what you owe on your plan. Jobs you gave back, jobs the customer cancelled and jobs that turned into a tow are never counted.
Why roadside jobs only?
Ontario's towing law bans paying or being paid for tow referrals (TSSEA s. 29), so TowXpress sends roadside jobs only. If a job turns into a tow, that is between you and the customer, under your own certificate, consent form and rates. TowXpress takes nothing for it.
Who talks to the customer?
You do, once you accept. We text them your company name, number, ETA and the price you set.
What if I accept and then cannot make it?
Tap "Can't make it" on the job page right away. The job goes back to the other operators and we call the customer.
