Cookeville rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Cookeville, no one may use any part of a public street, alley, sidewalk or right of way to store goods, merchandise or materials, and trucks and trailers actually loading or unloading are exempt from the city's truck-parking prohibition.
Cookeville's truck-parking prohibition does not apply to trucks, trailers or semi-trailers while they are actually loading or unloading, and the code's definition of parking excludes stopping temporarily while loading or unloading property. Residential parking districts require a permit once signs are posted, and posted time limits apply from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays that aren't city holidays. The zoning code bars parking or storing a vehicle not licensed to the owner or tenant on a residential property for more than seven consecutive days.
