    Some drivers in your situation park at a truckstop, then Uber to the gym.

    Aint it tho?

    If you didnt ask the gym mgr then its 100% on you.

    Lot of those places, tow company is fulfilling the OWNER (note that most gyms are leased spaces) of the land/lot's wishes and the mgr at the gym can tell you how aggressive their landlord is about it.

    You did see in the OP that he asked about using a gladhand lock... this would imply he had a trailer not bobtail

    not a good idea.

    i made my deliveries at night, i had the keys or lock code, plus the alarm codes.

    if a truck was parked in the docks, and incidentally 1 time in Portland, ME, there was..??

    i had to return to the DC center till the next day.

    the customer was P.O.'d, but i called my boss before i left (at like 1 AM) and he said to get the hell outta there, it's on them.

    wanna know why..??

    the truck was locked up and no one inside..!!

    so not a good idea to park at closed businesses, especially those auto parts stores.

    many night time deliveries.

    Someone just helped this guy fine the part he is looking for to avoid or make the tow truck struggle not to get towed. He probably has his own reasons why he parks there so everyone stop being a smart-### and just answer his question or don't say nothing at all.

    Let me guess, you parked somewhere with NO PARKING signs all around and got a ticket, booted or towed?

    That big sign in on customer entrance on DIFFERENT street.
    No sign by truck entrance that lead to docks.

    So what. After going there for 2 years you don't think he ever saw it. A forum member that has never been there before managed to see it and show a picture of it.
