La Crosse rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In La Crosse, trailers and trucks over four tons may not be parked on residential-district streets between midnight and 7 a.m., so a rental trailer cannot stay on the street overnight.
In La Crosse, trailers and trucks over four tons may not be parked on residential-district city streets between midnight and 7 a.m., and vehicles over 18 feet long or with an enclosed area more than eight feet high are limited to two hours in total on city streets, except while actually loading or unloading. A dumpster or portable storage container in the right-of-way needs a $75, 14-day Engineering permit and may sit only in legal parking zones, and temporary No Parking signs are rented from the Street Department. When the city declares emergency alternate side parking, vehicles must be on the side matching the date, with no tickets from 6 p.m. to midnight.
