Odessa rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Odessa, a vehicle taller than 8 feet or longer than 22 feet (30 feet combined) counts as a large vehicle that may not be parked on any public street or right-of-way, though expeditious loading and unloading of freight or merchandise is an affirmative defense.
Odessa city code bars parking, standing or storing commercial vehicles (over 17,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating) and large vehicles (over 8 feet tall, or longer than 22 feet or 30 feet combined) on any public street, alley or right-of-way, with an affirmative defense for expeditiously loading and unloading freight or merchandise; violations, or such a vehicle parked more than 48 hours, are subject to towing. Any parked vehicle must leave at least 12 feet of roadway open, and the noise code treats loud and excessive noise from loading or unloading a vehicle as a nuisance.
