Hercules rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Hercules, a heavy duty commercial vehicle, a category the code says includes moving vans, may not be parked at any one location for more than three hours unless more time is needed to finish loading or unloading.
Hercules limits heavy duty commercial vehicles, which the code says include moving vans and any vehicle 20 feet or longer, to three hours at one location, with extra time allowed when it's needed to finish loading or unloading. Trailers, motor homes and boats face the same three-hour limit and loading exception, and no vehicle may stay on a street or alley for more than 72 hours. Alleys are for loading and unloading only, and any encroachment into a public right-of-way falls under the city's permit-required rule.
