That depends on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the tow truck. New York City has a special Tow Truck Driver license, but that's only NYC - the rest of the state does not, and those would only be for vehicles under 26,000 GVWR. A single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs. would require a Class B CDL, while a heavy wrecker which would be towing units with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating/Gross Combination Weight Rating in excess of 10,000 lbs. would require a Class A CDL.

Towing businesses are highly regulated. In most states you need a special tow truck license. Often the local municipalities will have further restrictions. The type of license required to drive a tow truck depends on the state and the size of the tow truck. Flat bed drivers generally required a CDL where as claw truck drivers generally can use their regular drivers license.
