90 miles round trip isn't exactly right around the corner and $60/hr is cheap for an experienced HD mechanic. Lots of places charge by the hour from the time they leave the shop till they get back. He may have just made note of the mileage charge and there is nothing more to it. If he expected you drive there for free, he should have came and picked you up. When I did bobcat work if the job took at least half a day I didn't charge mileage but most of my jobs weren't too far away. It's not like he hired you to drive out in a Jetta diesel to use all his tools to do the job. It costs money to insure and maintain your truck and also gives you everything you'll need to do the job as efficiently as possible. I guess you could have charged him $65 or $70/hr and not charged mileage but it all works out about the same in the long run. If he was happy with the job is the most important. If the job would have taken an unusually long time or was being real stubborn, then maybe you could give a bit of a break.
