Rockville rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Rockville, the city code keeps larger trucks (over 10,000 lb GVW, more than four wheels, or 96 inches or more wide) off residential streets except while they are actually loading or unloading, so plan to park the truck only for the hours you're working.
In Rockville, City Code Section 23-27 keeps larger trucks, truck tractors and most trailers off residential streets except while actually loading or unloading. Pods and dumpsters can go in the city right-of-way only when Public Works agrees they can't safely sit on private property, and work that closes a sidewalk or parking lane needs a Public Works permit. In permit parking districts, service and delivery vehicles serving a home are exempt and each household gets two free visitor permits, while a declared snow emergency bans street parking for residents who have a driveway.
