Tow
|
In the composites industry, a tow is an untwisted bundle of continuous filaments, and it refers to man-made fibres, particularly carbon fibres (also called graphite). Tows are designated by the number of fibres they contain, e.g., a 12K tow contains about 12,000 fibres. In the textile industry, a tow (rhymes with cow, unless referring to cellulose acetate which sounds like toe) is a coarse, broken fibre such as flax, hemp, or jute. Flax tows are often used as upholstery stuffing, and tows in general are frequently cut up to produce staple fibre. From Wikipedia under the

I have no experience that even relates to driving commercially, but have always thought of being a tow truck driver. Any experience/stories of what its like to be a tow truck driver? Any advice on how one would go about training/schooling for this? Is this a satisfying job (pay, benefits, good work environment)? Anything you have to share is appreciated. Thanks! :) Asked by icecremeassasin - Tue Jun 8 09:43:25 2010 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. towing for hire is not a easy job CDL required for some size rigs. I did it part time for two years drove a 1 ton a10 ton and a 50 ton rig was not fun especially the repossessions. The hours were bad mostly from midnight to 6am as far as benefits there were non as I was a independent contractor so had to pay my own taxes and all of my own insurance (health) if you are interested in the tow tuck operations you need to first have some knowledge of auto mechanics be willing to get dirty and work hard here is a site for the tow truck cert you can look over Answered by glen t - Tue Jun 8 10:41:54 2010 What is the best way to tow an Oldsmobile Alero?
Q. I need to tow an Oldsmobile Alero about a half mile with a tow rope. Where is the best place on the front of the car to hook up the rope, tow the car, and not damage it? We are going to tow it with a pickup truck, I think its like a GMC 6 cylinder. I'm more concerned as to where I should put the tow strap on the car.
