BMG Towing
Detroit, MI · Est. 2015 · 14 drivers · 24/7 operations
A 24/7 operation shouldn't require 24/7 payroll management.
Brandon has run BMG Towing in Detroit for nearly a decade. The operation never sleeps — drivers run day, evening, and overnight shifts, with on-call coverage for AAA and insurance contracts. That complexity is the whole business. It's also what made payroll a recurring nightmare.
Shift differentials, DOT overtime thresholds, on-call standby pay, and variable hours from week to week made every payroll run a manual calculation project. Errors were common. Drivers complained. Brandon was spending his Sunday nights checking and rechecking numbers that should have been automatic.
He needed a payroll system that understood how towing companies actually work — not one that required workarounds. OneCo was the first platform that handled his pay structure without any of it being a custom build.
Fully set up before the next pay period.
Business account open before the night shift.
BMG applied for their OneCo business checking account in the morning. By dispatch time that evening, the account was funded and the debit card was ready. No bank visit. No waiting.
14 drivers onboarded without stopping the operation.
Every driver — day shift, overnight, and on-call — received a OneCo onboarding link via text. They completed W-4s, direct deposit, and I-9 verification between calls. The fleet didn't miss a beat.
Overnight differential and on-call pay configured.
OneCo handled the complexity of BMG's pay structure: base hourly, overnight shift differential, on-call standby pay, and DOT overtime rules. Every driver's check was calculated correctly without manual review.
Owner stopped living in spreadsheets.
Cash flow, payroll liability, and upcoming tax deposits all visible in one place. The owner stopped using three different logins to get a picture of the business and started making decisions faster.
"My drivers used to argue about their checks every other week. Since OneCo, I haven't had a single paycheck dispute. The math is just right."
