Whatever you do, don't park on the street in Alhambra!

if its both the truck AND trailer it might be hard to find a secure fenced in area that wont cost you an arm and a leg seeing as how space is a premium in Los Angeles. If its just the truck, look at some of the storage unit places, they have parking inside them and might offer a monthly flat rate or a per-night fee. See if your company has any contracts with customer yards in the area that you can park your truck/trailer at when you need to. When driving around town if you see a yard with a bunch of random trucks/trailers, ask them to see if they rent out space.

Closest practical place would be the TA in Ontario. Seriously, that is about as close as you are going to get legally, unless you can find someone with a fenced in business to put the truck closer to you. You'll be safe at the TA, and your car will be "reasonably" safe in the parking lot in front of the TA. I lived in Fontana and parked my truck about a mile away at the Three Sisters but the wife took me down to the truck when it was time to leave and picked me up when I came back in.
When I lived up in the Pasadena area (Arcadia, Sierra Madre), I wasn't driving, but I cannot think of ONE area there that you could get away with parking a truck and/or trailer.Baack Thanks this. -
Check out some spots in Sun Valley around San Fernando Road....There was a spot off of Sheldon and the 5 too...
Glen Oaks Rd.....Tujunga Rd.....
I'm jogging the memory cells and going back a few centuries of time....Baack Thanks this. -
There's Bandini's in Vernon. One is a pay to park type place or you could get down the street to the McDonald's early enough to grab one of those spots, lots of lighting and I can't imagine someone being so bold as to mess with your truck with so many witnesses.
What company is it in Stockton? I live there. -
I think your best bet is going to be in IRWINDALE, there are plenty of lots in the Industrial area but for a renters fee. Lots of gravel, dirt haulers in that area.

Oh yeah! Didn't think of Irwindale! I've never been to the track but there should be PLENTY of park for pay available there.
