Nobody needs to be on site. Mark the spot with a cone or describe it at booking, and leave gates unlocked or share the code.

Units on private property can go where you choose, as long as the truck can reach for service. Units on a street, sidewalk or public park may need a City permit. Check with the City before placing a unit in the right-of-way.

Share the gate code or a contact number at booking. If the driver finds the gate locked, the driver calls or texts the contact on file before leaving.
