Contact the police first: they can ticket him for doing this (trespass), and can potentialy ticket him on a continual basis (more tickets) if he continues to not more the vehicle after the first day.
If the police are not helpful--which is possible; sometimes the police don't want to get involved in disputes between neighbors and incorrectly deem this a "civil" matter when does in fact involve a crime (trespass)--then you can bring a legal action in court seeking both a court order for its removal and compensation (essentially a use fee or "rent") for the time that the truck and trailer have been on your property. If you wish to pursue this option, consult with a local attorney.
