Tow payroll is rarely simple. One driver is on a flat percentage, another gets a different rate on a particular truck, the dispatcher earns a fee on cash calls, and a gone-on-arrival pays differently from a full tow. Doing that by hand every week is slow and it's where mistakes — and arguments — come from.
At Athena Towing, commissions are calculated automatically every Monday from the jobs in Towbook, following the shop's actual rules, including the exceptions. The result is a payout plan you review and approve. The math is tested, so a rule change doesn't quietly break last week's numbers.
