the majority of their parking policy, i would agree with, as in, no layby’s with a loaded container, can only park in selected truck stops or MSA’s (they have a list of places that you can and cannot park at, although, this list changes at very regular intervals 
)
but, the part that really got at me was, for two and a half years, my operating centre was deemed as secure enough to park loaded containers in whether it be overnight or for the weekend, then all of a sudden, they changed their policy and it was no longer deemed as secure enough
this policy also coincidentally happened at a time when it went very quiet on the containers last year, we had already had a rate cut, dropping the earnings, then they dropped this on us too, it worked out that we were sometimes 2 jobs per week down on what we would normally do, coupled to the rate cut made it not worth working at all
in all that time, i had not had any issues with thefts or attempted thefts from any container in the yard.
but, what really boils my ■■■■ is, my yard is more secure than most of their yards, but that counts for nothing 
out of all the subbies that i know on for Maritime, there is only one that can still take a loaded box back to his yard, that is because the person who went to give him a yard inspection was very nearly arrested for trespassing 
to get into his yard, he had to go through a VOSA pound and into the police compound where my mate has an allocated parking space
they have had containers broken into and trailers taken from their yards, but, nothing is said
they make the rules, you have to stick by them or leave, i made my decision
