    Brother, if you're only getting $20 a call you are getting screwed. I work for a toe company, and we don't go out for Allstate for less than a 100.

    Here is the one thing nobody’s considering. He said he is also working for Ars. So that is two companies given him runs. A lot of times you will get a call from one company and then get a call from the other company for a different call that’s in the same area. You might only be a mile away. if it only takes you 30 minutes to do both runs, then you made $35 for half an hours worth of work.

    I signed up with Allstate in April this year, and so far I like it. I wish the pay was $30 or more per call. I make about 3 or 5 calls a day on average that's about $350 - $ 400 a week. My question to you. if a customer has a broken lug nut or can't find their lug security key, would they pay you for showing up? or did they cancel the request? Thanks for making this video!!

    Def get a jump box, if you hook up your car to another car and jump it the old school way you were screw up alot of these newer frilly junk cars they make today, def don't use jumper cables I'm tellin ya right now you will pay for it big time. I've dealt with customers blaming the SP for this kinda stuff and you don't wanna do that.
    The link in your description doesn't work....
    Insane you have to pay for a DT, where I work (I not work from home, but I use to work in their call center) they never DT us there lol, well if you DT people in a call center you won't have many agents left, only way people can deal with some of these irate callers is staying doped up.

      @@mudfun3703 Oh the driver don't get that jack rabbit is another call center that is kinda like uber with their providers so I don't know what their drivers pocket alot of the time their drivers don't show, but I can see why lol. I've seen tows run as cheap as $35 for 10miles and of course I've seen some sky high stuff. It is what it is though, motorclubs are glorified advertising for SPs and are there to get a good deal for their customers and then I need to eat on top of all that. I use to bonus real good but they have made that about impossible. So like they treat their SPs, the employees are likely getting treated worse. I got a large wage increase 3 years ago and now they are trying to get rid of my kind because payroll is cheaper when you pay someone overseas rather than in murika for about double. So just wait before you know it these call centers will be having asians and indians calling to jew you down, but atleast they can't outsource to china or something to cut service providers out of the deal lol. Im putting the gears in motion to be a SP myself, just filed my LLC, but I won't take the chump change calls, I'm in a area where they there is no one and I'll be doing off road recovery too. yall be safe out there.

    • @jonarnold4373

      No that's actually probably what he makes per job. That's what our contract rates are. If you don't do towing you're not going to make very much money for a job and there's always somebody want to do a lower than you if you raise your rates. The Motocross don't give a s*** about the drivers or the customers. They're like a regular business they care about their bottom line. Whoever is cheaper gets all the work. Back in the day I'm sure people were making $60 a job doing this, but after years if everybody underbidding each other it's gotten everyone's rates down to $20 or less for a service.
      Murray's used to be $23, I thought I was being competitive are my prices but I was only getting 20 jobs a week. I dropped my way to the $20 for a job and now I do anywhere between 130 to 180 jobs a week. The farthest I go for a job is 15 mi from home. So worst case scenario I'm driving 30 mi between one job to another, but that's very rare, most jobs are just a couple miles from each other so gas isn't a big issue.
