davis_square | Unattached trailer parking for moving (ABF) (Reply)

Please excuse yet another moving post: Has anyone ever used ABF U-pack to move to/from Somerville? Not the pod or "relocube" option, but the you-pack we-drive trailer space? When we called 311, they told us parking the trailer would be okay. But when we went in person to get the spaces reserved, they told us that: parking a moving container (or pod) is okay, parking an entire trailer truck is okay, but parking the trailer and driving the cab away (which ABF does) is not okay. They wouldn't park overnight, just during the day with the spaces reserved. Has anyone successfully done this trailer move with or without being ticketed? The parking office says it could be $40/hr fine until we move the unattached trailer. Does anyone understand why a pod is okay, but an almost equally-sized unattached trailer is not ok? If they can't drive the cab away, ABF will charge us $80/hr after the first hour for their driver to sit in his cab and watch us move. Hmm...
