    Check Company policy. Sometimes not allowed. Insurance reasons. I’ve been towed twice while at home. Trailer only once, Both units once, even though I had permission from the store Manager. Finally started paying for a parking spot. Maybe pay, if you can find a daily rate.

    Are you with Landstar? Landstar I don't think cares as long as you aren't parked on the shoulder of a public roadway. I lived in an apartment complex until recently where I could park in a big gravel guest parking area at home and they never said a word to me about parking there. Now I rent a parking spot that is gated, has cameras, etc. in the area I moved to. Going home loaded they say that you can't with certain freight, say you need permission from the agent with other freight, but I never had any issue.

    Whatever you do, it's on you. Call your bco advisor for info. Use the kingpin lock they had you buy when you went to orientation. Lock the trailer. Padlock the door if it's a van but don't use a seal. A locked trailer with a seal looks like it's got something good inside and someone will peel open the door to look. Where I live I see LS tractor/trailers parked in secure lots. In Chicago I pay $300/mo for a stall locked fence, lights and night guard. Benefit is I can do routine maintenance with no hassle.
