Me Old Man used to Drive for Road & Rail/Maurice Hill in the late 90’s outta the Steel Terminal Burton On Trent & he came home in his unit every night as all the other drivers did in theirs and there was never an issue.

Puntabrava, maybe the driver is dead in the cab at Solstice or taken ill.
Is there a phone number on the lorry ?
Or the driver has gone home for Christmas in Europe and left the wagon there.
I will be passing there later and bang the cab door for signs of life.Well it was still there at mid day. If he is dead then there will be no answer, if not you may get a disgruntled Foreign mouthful.
make sure you wear gloves when you bang the door in case its a murder enquirey or will it just be someone away home for a holiday.?

Be prepared for a scene from mad max when he opens the door on the Mack unit .
Puntabrava, the black Scania car transporter was still there today, I rang the Police, they did a Pnc check on the number plate and the firm told them that nobody is inside the lorry and the driver is coming back to work Monday.

Ahh, thanks, even I was starting to wonder.
you really don’t have to worry about it nowadays with satellite tracking etc, the company knows where their truck is and if unable to get in touch with the driver, will alert the authorities themselves
The car transporter driver left the sat nav on full display, if leaving the lorry that long, I would have not left it in the cab.
You dont need to be back at Base at End of Shift.
You are leagel to park anywhere were parking is legal.
