I guess it depends on what you think a low number is. I work with companies who have 200+ reviews and are gaining more daily because they have a review management system in place. From what I've experienced, many companies are just simply not interested in gaining a review. I try to promote it to my clients but some either think it's too much of a headache or don't think it will help them as much as it does. I will say that the companies I work with who do attempt to gain a review are typically the ones who are most successful.

Not to my knowledge. I'm in MN, they don't here...Thanks for watching!

It is in the description. You can also find it under "Tools" at cashtows.com. Hope this helps!

That's awesome! Sounds like an interesting setup. Are you providing all soft services as well?

@@cashtows What do you mean by soft services? So far I've been doing at home deliveries, broken down cars, towing expensive cars that we don't want to add mileage too, or if a customer buys an expensive car we'll deliver it to them by towing so it doesn't get rock chips on the way to the clients house. It's been really fun :D. I'm trying to convince my boss to get a F450 with a proper roll back :P

Ya, Google doesn't like locksmiths, haha. When I create ads targeting these services, keywords I use are "car unlocking service", "lockout service", etc. I try to stay away from pushing it too far. Definitely don't use the word locksmith. You'll need to jump through a few more hoops than normal. I haven't gone through the process so am not much help for you on that one. Thanks for watching!

This is controversial and will depend on your area. I know Texas can be tough to get a payment up front but here in Minnesota, it's tough to find someone that will accept cash unless you're close by. IMO, you did exactly what I do. I've gotten the same push back from customers and respond by letting them know that I will 100% NOT show up if payment is not made. If they are less than 5 minutes away, I might take cash but otherwise it's card upfront. ESPECIALLY after hours! If I'm in a good mood, I'll explain to them that we have a problem where we get called to a job, show up, can't find the car, customer quits answering the phone, and then I have to pay for fuel and a driver. If they still push back, I encourage them to check our reviews. I used to be much more accommodating but over the years of losing money on "cash paying customers", I just quit taking cash. Besides, it's USUALLY the cash paying customers who try to negotiate the lowest rate who are the WORST customers. I fire my customers all the time, I just don't deal with BS anymore. It's unfortunate but people these days can be extremely rude. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

You are so welcome!!

Glad it was helpful!

I wouldn't say my truck is light by any means at over 18,000 pounds empty. A car is about 4,000 pounds, trucks and SUVs can get up to around 6,000 pounds. Of course this all depends on the vehicle. Anything over 26,000 pounds gross will require a CDL. Thanks for watching!

That will come down to your expenses and the profit margin you choose to make on each call. I suggest downloading the towing rate calculator then finding out what your competition is charging. Finding a rate somewhere in the middle works the best in my experience, as long as it makes sense for your business. Hope this helps!

Yes! You can adjust it to fit your needs. Just "Make a Copy" when you get the download. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! What kind of truck are you starting with?

@@unclescarhead5587 nope, I transport in neutral. If you have all 4 points secured, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything moving around.

I like to think of it as a balance beam. As long as you have the weight level, you’ll be fine. Things to be aware of when pulling backwards is damage to mirrors, tonneau cover, front bumper, etc. Vehicles are not designed to be driven 60+ mph backward, more liability for you as a driver. With that being said, I do it all the time…EXCEPT CONVERTIBLES!!! Don’t ever haul a convertible backwards, the rear window can easily blow out.

Hey! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it! I didn’t put the vehicle in park because I transport in neutral. My question to you would be: Why do you tow in park? You need to have 4 points secured, if done correctly, the vehicle will not go anywhere. This is taught in most tow truck training programs such as Wreckmaster. I also leave the key in the ignition for 3 main reasons. 1. Most vehicles will not allow you to pull the key from the ignition if it’s not in park. 2. If the key is in the ignition and turned back so accessory is off, the vehicle will not lock. 3. It prevents me from leaving the key in my pocket, where in the past I’ve forgot it, and then I have to drive back to the drop off location to drop the key back off. I ONLY use the mini J, big J, or soft straps. The rest of the cluster gets ground off and thrown in my scrap metal pile. I realize this may be controversial but it works for me and does not, in any way, decrease safety during transport. Everything gets gently snugged down with the winch once I’m finished securing. My loads don’t shift or roll around using my method. Hope this cleared some things up for you! STAY SAFE OUT THERE!!

@cashtows wreck masters don't show you everything I was watching a video from wreckmaster about loading a car on a flatbed it was a Cadillac with a long back end you know the bumper gonna scrape what should you do not worry about it or use wood plus putting it in park Will keep the car from rolling away if in a accident or when your straps rip because when you think the straps are tight they will stretch and loosen when you stop and go in traffic and don't say it hasn't been done no matter how long you been towing your still learning

Hey thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. Do you operate a tow truck?

@@cashtows yesi have a company in dallas

Hey Jason, thanks for your input. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos and comment. Unfortunately, this video is nearly a year old and I should work on an update. As you know, things are always changing in the world of Google and technology in general. Things are moving even faster now that we have AI. I understand why IP blocking might not be the best way to prevent click fraud. I have a specific configuration I use for ClickCease which seems to work for what I'm doing. I'm currently undergoing testing with and without the use of ClickCease in multiple accounts. I'm reaching the end of my tests and think it would be safe to say that Click Cease doesn't offer as much protection as they claim. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Click fraud rarely use the same IP address twice". Sure. There are IP rollers, VPN's, programs/bots, etc., but an IP address does not change that quick unless they have a program to do so, please tell me if I'm wrong. Their IP may change in a few hours or even by the next day allowing them to continue fraud which is problem with most any other click fraud software. The 500 IP limit just adds to the list of reasons not to use click fraud software. I realize this is all irrelevant considering Google has it's proprietary fraud detection and will not refund any fraud reports from external software, which again, is ANOTHER problem when using click fraud software. Interested to hear the "more robust methods" you mentioned. Now, I've gotta push back on some of the comments you made. I'm not sure why you would think I'm getting rich off of ClickCease Affiliate links from a 1,700 sub channel but it couldn't be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, I've made exactly $0 from ClickCease Affiliate program, haha. I was deemed a "legend" from a viewer who watched this specific video which would imply the opposite of your "low quality info" comment, haha. My goal is to be transparent and informative to help the tow ops who were in my shoes years ago. I absolutely, 100% DO NOT intend to steer anyone in the wrong direction. Ever. I believe that the info in this video IS quality and informative and has helped many viewers, despite what you may think. There are a TON of RUclipsrs who are not transparent and even go as far as filtering their comment section from viewers who call them out on their BS. I, on the other hand, do not hide anything. If I'm doing something wrong, I would like to know so I can correct, learn from mistakes, and grow. Feel free to comment, email, or DM me if you'd like to discuss further. I'm open to new ways of doing things and enjoy learning. I make mistakes and am often wrong about things. I would like to further this discussion with you, do you have a company or are you the op? haha Thanks again for checking out Cash Tows and look forward to your reply!

A standard class D drivers license is all you need! That will cover you up to 26,000 pounds. So basically you can drive any single axle truck up to 26,000 pounds gross weight. Anything over that, you will be required to obtain a CDL.

@@cashtows hey Do you mean class c ? you put class D. I got an interview this week that’s why I’m asking. Thanks for your feedback. I’ll subscribe to your channel

Minnesota is class D. I’m not sure about other states but a class D in MN is your normal drivers license, nothing extra. Might want to look into your state specifically.

Always. Haha

For me, towing is easy. I don’t think it’s difficult but you really need to pay attention to what you’re doing and have a system in place for everything. I’ve worked with some companies who are just stuck in their ways and refuse to try another way. They typically quit before their renewal and continue to be unsuccessful. I think it just comes down to who you are as a person. There are a TON of headaches in this business, but if you know what you’re doing, you can make a lot of money. Choosing the wrong truck, providing only certain services, ignoring phone calls, not having systems in place, and being impatient are the top reasons I see most companies fail.

Cashtows.com! Check the store! In stock now!

Thank you. Do you have a truck?

I agree with the guy above. I’m just starting out and have watched all of your vids many times trying to learn and get started. Thanks again

Thanks for watching

Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks for watching! I'll check it out, thanks!

Not sure how I missed your comment but you can reach me at cashtows.com

If it’s leaking fluids, flatbed is the way to go as it’s easier to contain. They should be able to load backwards, making sure nothing will be damaged by pulling backwards. Sounds like it will be a slow transport, not getting on any highways. Should be an easy hook but every situation is different.

BACK IN STOCK! I’ve discontinued the Glassman as I’ve had many people say they just use the air bag or they don’t like using it. So I dropped it…..along with the price!

I’ve never ran an audit of my closing rate but a conservative number I would say would be 60-70%. And that number only includes the calls where I gave them a quote. It does not include callers who are looking for their impounded car or have the wrong number. I don’t believe your rates are high enough for Google Ads to be profitable for you but then again I don’t no the characteristics of the area you are targeting. If I were you, I would find out what your competition is charging. I would take the low number and the high number and be somewhere in the middle to high range of those two numbers. You also have to conside your operating expenses as well. I can’t give you solid advice without more details about your business. Reach out to me at cashtows.com

Thanks! I will reach out. One more thing I needed to know... do I need to set my bid to 6/7 dollars so I can make sure my ad shows up at the very top? Does that make any difference? Currently I am bidding 3 dollars. ​@@cashtows

Agreed those rates are quite low if he’s going to charge $55 a hook you might as will just look into Motor clubs and not have to spend money on ads and I have to worry about incoming call volume They will have all the volume you can handle at that cheap ass rate

Not anymore. Go grab one before they’re gone!! Thanks for watching…greatly appreciated.

Glad you enjoyed!

That’s great! What areas do you provide your towing/roadside services??

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching. I have not but will look into it. Thank you!

New campaigns run about 15%. Once I get the campaign optimized, usually 30-90 days, I typically see conversion rates between 30-60%.

I'm not sure if I will. Only 9 kits were sold over the last year. In order to give you guys the discount, I have to buy in bulk which requires storage and upfront costs. It's tough to hang on to that inventory that long. Plus, I don't get my money back until I make a sale. I don't make anything off of these kits. I created this kit thinking an all-in-one kit is what the people want. I was wrong. haha. Send me a message at cashtows.com and we might be able to work something out.

You can make a copy of the spreadsheet and customize it however you'd like.

If I had 100k and was determined to start a new towing company, I would probably buy 2 used trucks. Both with a 6.7 Cummins. One wrecker, one flatbed. Then, the rest of the money I would spend on obtaining a secured lot and training 1-2 drivers. I would focus on obtaining police contracts, junk car buying, and PPI. I personally would not do any repossession. My trucks would stay parked before I even think about turning a key for any type of motor club/insurance contract. I would run Google Ads 24hours. This is in a nutshell of course....

That is something you would have to work out for yourself. Secondary tows usually require the tow op to pay cash out of their pocket to get the vehicle released. I'm not a bank. I typically charge 10% or $100. Whichever is greater.

I wouldn’t recommend using those hooks. Always grab the frame if you can. Trucks and SUVs shouldn’t have an issue finding hook points on the frame.

Hey, thanks for reaching out. You can go to cashtows.com and fill out the pre-qualification form. I typically respond to these submissions in 1-3 business days. I do currently have an opening for the LA area! I would appreciate the opportunity to help you out. Thanks for watching as well!

Happy to help! Welcome
