Denver rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Denver, a truck more than 22 feet long, or a trailer not attached to a licensed vehicle, shouldn't be parked on a public street for more than 2 hours.
In Denver, a truck over 22 feet long or an unattached trailer is limited to two hours on a public street, counted over any seven-day period, unless it is actively rendering services in the immediate area; an attached trailer gets 24 hours. A portable container in the street needs a city permit that only the container company can obtain, and reserving metered space is a separate meter-bagging request that can take up to 72 hours to process. Alleys are for necessary and expeditious loading and unloading only.
