In addition to being recommended by staff of the Public Service Commission of West Virginia to give a full refund for one overcharged tow, the staff is also recommending Hutch’s Wrecker Service reimburse more than $5,000 for another.

The West Virginia commission issued a staff recommendation on May 4 that Hutch’s Wrecker Service reimburse $5,593.23 after overcharging for a third-party tow. The reimbursement recommendation was in response to a complaint filed in 2015 by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association on behalf of one of its members.

Seems to me that a cities/states need to have rate agreements set up with any tow companies they are going to use on call outs. Good way to prevent rip offs like this.

A better way would be to shut the crooks down & toss them in jail for fraud but that would make too much sense.
