Link Preferred Tow Drivers

Earn Referral Commissions
For referred tow jobs, drivers pay you a commission (e.g. 10–15%) for the referral. If you offer free towing on your shop services, you pay the tow driver at a discounted rate equal to your commission rate.
How the Free Tow + Commission Flow Works
Customer books shop service with Free Tow
Job auto-dispatches to your preferred tow drivers
Tow driver picks up vehicle & delivers to shop
Vehicle arrives — shop pays driver at commission-discounted rate
For referred tows, driver pays shop commission via Stripe
Example: Shop sets 10% commission rate. For a referred tow job of $100, the driver pays the shop $10 commission. For a free-tow service where the tow fee is $100, the shop pays the driver $90 (10% discount).
Instant Payouts on Arrival
For referred tow jobs, driver commissions are paid to the shop automatically via Stripe. For free-tow services, the shop pays the driver at the discounted rate upon vehicle arrival.
Use Preferred Drivers Only Mode
Lock your free-tow jobs exclusively to your linked preferred drivers. No random dispatch — only drivers you trust get your referrals.
Full Commission Tracking
See all referral payouts, commission history, and earnings from your Shop Owner Dashboard under Payout & Commissions.
Two-Way Link Requests
Shop owners can invite drivers, and tow drivers can search for shops to link with. Either party can initiate the connection — just agree on a commission rate.
