Hobart rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Hobart, trailers, motor homes, boats, mobile homes and recreational vehicles may not be parked on any residential street, alley or front yard.
Hobart's city code bars trailers, motor homes, boats and RVs from parking on any residential street, alley or front yard, and keeps trucks, trailers or property-carrying vehicles over 11,000 pounds gross vehicle weight from parking in residential areas except for the time reasonably needed to deliver, load or unload. Vehicles may load or unload in an alley for up to 30 minutes in one place, and longer stays need a permit from the Chief of Police. Trucks and trailers over 11,000 pounds are kept off city streets that aren't state highways, except for deliveries, pickups and legal work in the city.
