Steady work, confirmed rates and pay that does not wait for net-30.

SOS Roadside dispatches roadside, tow, mechanical and transport work to independent operators across the country. We are looking for companies that answer the phone, give an honest ETA and finish the paperwork.

How Pay Works

You know what the job pays before you accept it

Roadside work has a reputation for slow pay and surprise chargebacks. Our model is built to remove both.

  1. At dispatch

    Rate Confirmed

    The dispatcher offers the job with the service, location, destination and rate. You accept or decline. Nothing is renegotiated on scene.

  2. At assignment

    Job Card Issued

    A single-use virtual card is issued for the job in the agreed amount, so the funds are set aside before you leave the yard.

  3. On completion

    Paperwork Closes The Job

    Signed work order and photos uploaded from the scene. The job moves to completed and the card is released for charge.

  4. After

    One Record Per Job

    Rate, authorization, photos, work order and payment on one ticket. Questions go to the dispatcher who assigned it, not a ticket queue.

What keeps a provider in the network

Four things, measured on every job. Providers who consistently deliver get more volume. Providers who no-show, pad invoices or leave scenes undocumented are removed, with the reason recorded.

Answer

Accept or decline within minutes so the dispatcher can move on if you are busy.

Honest ETA

Give the real number. A true 70 minutes beats a false 40 every time.

On-Scene Conduct

Identify yourself, treat the driver well, photograph before and after.

Paperwork

Signed work order and photos uploaded before you leave the scene.

Questions operators ask

Anything else, call dispatch and ask for onboarding.

How much work will I get?
It depends on your area, services and performance. Volume follows reliability: providers who answer, show up on time and document well see their share of the area's dispatches grow.
Can I decline a job?
Yes. Decline quickly so the dispatcher can offer it to the next provider. What hurts is accepting and not showing, which is the fastest way out of the network.
What if the scene is different from what was described?
Call dispatch from the scene before doing extra work. If the job scope changes, the dispatcher re-authorizes it with the account and confirms the new rate with you. Extra work done without authorization is not paid.
How is a gone-on-arrival handled?
Photograph the location, note the time and call dispatch. GOA events are paid at the rate disclosed in your provider agreement when they are documented on scene.
Is there a fee to join?
No. There is no membership fee, lead fee or portal fee. We pay you for jobs; we do not sell you leads.
