Memphis rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Memphis, trucks and tractor-trailers (other than two-axle pickups, passenger vans and SUVs) may not be parked or left unattended on a public street in a residential district unless they are actively being loaded or unloaded.
In Memphis, trucks, truck trailers and tractors may only sit on a residential street while actively being loaded or unloaded (or used for work at the adjacent property), RVs only while loading or unloading, and nonmotorized trailers may not be parked or stored on residential streets at all; no vehicle may stay on a residential street longer than 24 hours in a row. A dumpster in the city right-of-way needs a construction dumpster permit ($50 plus $10 a day), lane and road closures carry their own permit fees, and blocking the right-of-way without a permit from the division of engineering is a code violation.
