Meet licensing requirements. You will also be required to complete state licensing requirement, however this will depend on your state of residence. For instance, New York requires tow truck operators to fill out an application, verify identity (photo id, passport), get fingerprinted, be photographed, and possess a current New York state's driver's license and a Tow Truck Operator endorsement W or S before they can get licensed. Whereas in the City of Vaughn, Canada, you'll need a Valid "G" license, $225.00 fee, proof of insurance, vehicle ownership paperwork, police clearance letter, schedule of rates, address of impound yard, along with other information.

Not necessarily, although you do need the appropriate class licence to actually operate it. You can operate anything up to 26,000 lbs. GVWR on a standard Class C licence. Anything above that, you either need a non-CDL Class B or A licence, or a Class A or B CDL, depending on what type of truck it is specifically, and if its use permits it to fall within any of the exceptions for requiring an actual CDL (registered farm vehicle, etc).
