Filled with diverse shops and drivers in both rural and urban communities across the country, Hustle & Tow offers viewers a rugged “day-in-the-life” perspective on tow truck operators, where—depending on the call—operators can either be hailed as heroes or labeled as villains.
Operation Repo
This tow truck reality show aired for an impressive 11 seasons between November 2007 and February 2014. The tow truck show follows a team of drivers from the San Fernando Valley in California who make a living repossessing cars from extremely irate owners.

Shipping Wars
This entertaining tow truck reality show follows a group of freelance tow truck drivers who make a living bidding on projects around the state on youship.com. The lowest bidder gets to deliver the goods, but it’s not always profitable, and the stakes are generally high.
It’s all about that bottom line, and the show states how much each driver will make on the shipment, as well as how much it ends up costing them to make it there.
Lizard Lick Towing
The premise of this tow truck reality show involves following the employees of Lizard Lick Towing & Recovery in Wendell, N.C., as they go about their daily job of towing repossessions.
The crew’s personalities really steal the spotlight, making for a great watch whether you’re in the towing and recovery industry or not!
