Here are the fees that can be charge legally for a tow i n Massachusetts.

Although there are maximums muicipalities are urge to negotiate a lower rate on behalf of the citizens they serve. That being said here is what you can be charged:

Passenger vehicle-a motor vehicle capable of transporting not more than eight passengers and a driver, including otorcycle, and displaying a passenger of motorcycle plate.
Coomercial vehicle-all other vehicles different from above......

Max tow for vehicle/motorcycle tow $90.00
Second tow when needed $90.00 because the expenses are considered the same

If tow truck is at scene of involuntary tow(police tow) for more than one hour it is allowed to charge $35.00 per one half hour for every one half hour increment over one hour.

Tow truck driver needs additional help they are allowed to charghe $32.00 per hour

Excess mileage is $3.00 per mile for cars and $4.25 per mile for trucks...over five miles

Like I said anyone who would like this info I will scan it all on my home computor and send it via email to anyone who would like it.

Teaser you have a very legitmate complaint

in the worst situations, you always find the nicest people... sometimes

that really sucks about your truck and trailor being towed.. what happened with your boat while you went and picked your truck up?
