    /I have a lot in Mojave, its posted No Parking Towaway, park there and you will get towed. Got tired of cleaning up after other drivers, put in a dumpster, made no difference. So blame your fellow drivers for loss of parking.

    Park your #### where you're supposed to and it won't get towed.

    depending in how crappy of a company you work for, how good of an employee you are and how much leverage you have you could tell your company that they would make more money by paying it and having you stay than them saving 600 bucks and you telling them to come get their truck . its all about leverage.

    Did you leave your 4 way flashers on?. That gives truckers permission to park anywhere they want.

    Unless you had Express Written Permission from the Property Owner or Management you're S.O.L.

    Chalk it up to experience and the World of Trucking.

    Don't expect sympathy if you were in the wrong.

    Another thing could be that the owner or manager may have knocked on the door and considered the truck abandoned when he got no answer. Hence, the tow.
