Smart immobilizers and parking security

I'm using TruckerPath now which solved my problem with finding where to park around Mesa. There are convenient locations I can park at for days. But now new problems: I'm concerned about security. So I went researching good gladhand locks vs king pin locks, and came across this smart lock: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D9ZRQ4JL

Anyone has experience with this or any other smart lock? Also, what do you guys recommend for GPS tracker? Do you need to change batteries often?

Where to park rig around Mesa

Thank you! The app is super useful.

Mesa, AZ? Looks like there’s a couple truck stops and dirt lots around there on Trucker Path that wouldn’t hassle you about parking there for a few days. If you don’t have the Trucker Path app I highly recommend it. It’s free (you don’t need the paid version) and it shows tons of truck parking areas. It’s not completely foolproof but I can generally get an idea what I’m getting into beforehand by checking the reviews for the location on the app and checking out satellite view.

Does your company have any terminals or drop lots in the area? That could be another option
