<VV> Towing fees

[Harry Yarnell]

Been awhile since I've had to have a hook come get me, but Saturday, I lost an idler pulley and flipped belt along I-95 (non-corvair). The rollback that fetched Carol and I charged $1.50/mile TO (no load) the breakdown, and $3.00 loaded. $55 hookup fee also.
I don't remember tow companys charging fees TO the breakdown; is this something new?
What have others paid for tows?
This tow was about 30 miles.
