AAA reported during Women's History Month that more women are being hired as tow truck drivers and automotive care technicians, but women still represent only 3.4 percent of the estimated 31,514 tow truck operators currently employed in the United States, according to KMPH and AAA Mid-Atlantic. The number of women in automotive repair rose to 12 percent in 2022.
Operator takeaway
3.4 percent — the towing workforce is overwhelmingly male, and operators who actively recruit women expand their applicant pool in a market where every CDL driver counts.
