Tow Truck Drivers: What hooks do you use for recovery?

[POWERSMOKIN]

Im not sure if this falls under towing and hauling
but i wanna know what tow truck drivers use to tow cars without recovery hooks, or hitches.
I recently found an untapped market pulling cars stuck in snow up this hill, and luckily all the cars i pulled had hitches.
But what do yall use, like pulling a car onto a flatbed?

they are called "J-hooks", they hook into factory holes on the frame rails and sub-frames of cars.

Those work even if the bumper comes down lower then the frame? say for example, a toyota sienna.

I do not know the name but recall the shape and there is a place in that front plastic cover bumper on one or the other side that is about 1 to 2 inches square that pops open with under it is like a place to screw it into.
