Reading your story and then reading the replies it's obvious different people are different.
I sell my produce retail, as such my concept of business is to price everything up front with a big bold sign. I know different business can't do that quite the same way, but from my perspective both parties erred, but mostly it seems people are just picking on Teakettle.
Yes, Teakettle should have asked the price up front. But the wrecker owner could have named the price structure up front. Something like, "I'll send truck 37 out. For that I charge $200/hr and $5/mile. From your location it will start about $300 and go up depending on the time" I know it doesn't usually happen that way, but why not?
Quite possibly both men are decent guys. They just have different assumptions of a reasonable price for the job. Same thing can happen selling retail, but it certainly helps all involved when the price is stated clearly and boldly.
It's a small wish of mine more transactions were like this.
