Questions and answers asked most often in the towaway division include:

- How do taxes work? All haulers are contracted to work for the company under a 1099 form. You will need to pay your own taxes, as they will not be withheld from your earnings.
You will need to go through a two-day orientation and provide your current registration, proof of insurance, vehicle title or proof of ownership and current DOT inspection to meet the hauling requirements of Classic Transport.
