Covering Dayton from the Oregon District, Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton International, and out to the I-675 loop.
The Dayton Opportunity
Dayton Is Growing — And So Is the Need for Reliable Roadside Help.
Dayton is growing fast, adding drivers and commuters every year — but the roadside options haven't kept up.
Every day, drivers get stranded from the Oregon District, Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton International, and out to the I-675 loop — commuters, rideshare drivers, families, and tourists who need help fast and don't care who owns the tow truck. They just want someone reliable to show up.
Most people who try to start a roadside business in Dayton begin from zero: no software, no brand, no customers, no dispatch infrastructure. They spend years — and hundreds of thousands of dollars — trying to build a business.
As the DRIVE Roadside franchisee for Dayton, you skip all of that. You start with a proven, direct-to-consumer roadside platform refined through real jobs since 2018 — with the training, playbooks, and support to own your market from day one.
We're not dependent on low-margin motor club work. Our model is built on direct-to-consumer customers at healthy margins — unusual for a service franchise in the Dayton market.
Low Overhead
No Tow Truck. No Tow-Truck Insurance. No Heavy Equipment.
Use a regular vehicle. Most Dayton roadside jobs — battery, tire, lockout, fuel — don't need a truck.
Skip commercial tow insurance. Without a tow truck, you avoid the premiums that come with operating one.
Inexpensive tools. The equipment you need costs a fraction of a truck — keeping operating expenses low.
Or outsource to your local network. Providers sign up every day. When one signs up in your Dayton territory, we send you the referral to add to your local network — thinner margins, very little hands-on work.
