    I can give you some ideas, try any of the shops like freightliner, peterbuilt, kw, etc... Some may allow you to park there you may have to spend a little bit to park....also you can try thermoking shops too.... I use to when home park at freightliner / cat and thermoking while I was on hometime...

    the other thing you can try is towing outfits in the area again small fee may apply but at least you know your equipment will be safe....or if you want....

    not sure if there is a TA near there, but get a reserved spot at a TA pay the 10 bucks a night there for it and you can go when you want for as long as you want.

    They will... but it's an $80 cab ride to the airport from there. And yes, that is the voice of experience!

    http://truckrepairandequipment.com/ <----These guys have quite a bit of room, and aren't far from the airport. The used to store carhaulers for SME, so I bet they rent space. Worth a try, anyways.

    The Flying J off 52 in Rosemount has so many junk dump trucks and trailers in their lot they would never notice your rig.

    The Pilot down on 52 could accommodate you I'm sure. Get there during the day, and park. Call a taxi and take it to the airport. It's not that far from the Pilot.

    Pilot to MSP is 13.9 miles

    Gold & Green Taxi (651) 452-9000 can get you there for $30 give or take a few dollars.
