Got my job offer pulled for negotiating

Got offered an entry level role at a medium sized concrete company, on the contracting team. Had to travel three hours to where I’d be relocating too, to complete medical, drug test, paperwork, etc. Payrate was a dollar less than I wanted, and below market rates, so asked the boss if there was any wiggle room. He said he’d have ‘talk’ about it. Fast forward three days, after uniform sizing and everything, I drop in with some paperwork and had HR inform me that my job offer has been withdrawn and that I wasn’t in a ‘position’ to negotiate. Also that they now thought I’d suck at the job, and would probably walk as soon as I found one with better pay. Manager wouldn’t even look at me.
