Plot Synopsis

HUSTLE & TOW is a half-hour reality series that pops the hood to take a close-up look at America's unsung essential workers who perform daily under extremely dangerous conditions, despite every imaginable encounter with unexpected terrain, wildlife and weather: tow truck drivers. These hard-working men and women respond to a massive array of calls from recovering stolen cars, to handling contentious impounds, clearing behemoth big rig wrecks, rescuing families who have veered off the highway and much more. Embedded with diverse shops and drivers in both rural and urban communities across the country, "Hustle & Tow" offers viewers a rugged "day-in-the-life" perspective on tow truck drivers, where depending on the call drivers can either be hailed as heroes or labeled as villains. These drivers -- part-mechanics and part-first responders -- endeavor to keep the country mobile while moving from one call to the next to get the job done. HUSTLE & TOW premiered on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 from 10-11pm ET/PT, as A&E debuted back-to-back new episodes:
