Rocklin’s rule is about the clock rather than the route, and it lands on an exact number. Commercial vehicles rated at thirteen tons or more may not stand on the street between six p.m. and six a.m. — and a typical 26-foot moving truck is rated at precisely 26,000 pounds, which is thirteen tons exactly.
So the honest advice for Rocklin is to finish and move the truck before six. Hourly rates start at $159 for two movers and a fully equipped truck, priced online before anyone comes to your door.
Six p.m. is the number to plan around. Rocklin Municipal Code 10.24.190(A) prohibits parking or leaving standing a commercial vehicle rated at thirteen tons GVWR or more between six p.m. and six a.m. The same subsection exempts vehicles parked “for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on a restricted street”, which is what a move is. We still plan Rocklin moves to be off the street by six, because a loaded truck left at the curb overnight is exactly the pattern that rule is written for.
A quirk worth knowing, because it works in your favour. The night-time parking ban catches vehicles of “thirteen tons or more”. The truck-route mandate in sections 10.32.020 and 10.32.030 applies only to vehicles exceeding thirteen tons. A 26,000-pound truck sits exactly on the line, which means it is caught by the parking rule but not by the route rule — so unlike most cities on this list, Rocklin does not restrict which streets we take to reach you. That is the reverse of the usual pattern and it makes the approach simpler here than almost anywhere else we work.
The truck routes are in the code, if they are needed. Section 10.32.020 names them: Pacific Street end to end, Granite Drive from Dominguez to Sierra College, Dominguez Road, Sierra College Boulevard end to end, Stanford Ranch Road, Sunset Boulevard from Highway 65 to West Oaks, all of Lonetree Boulevard, and Blue Oaks Boulevard from Highway 65 to Lonetree. The city publishes a truck route map alongside it.
No curb reservation exists. Rocklin Public Works issues exactly three permits — encroachment, overload transportation and street closure — and none of them reserves a parking space for a move. The residential street closure permit is free but must be filed twenty days ahead and is a block-party mechanism, not a curb hold. So nothing keeps the space clear for you.
A 26-foot truck needs no overload permit: those start above ten feet wide, fourteen feet high, seventy-five feet combined or 80,000 pounds. Rules and fees change, so we re-check before move day.
Permit and access details confirmed against the city's own published guidance. Rules change — we re-check before move day.
Double drive time applies when pickup and delivery are more than ten miles apart. A move inside Rocklin falls under that line; Rocklin to central Sacramento, Folsom or Davis is over it. Your quote shows which way yours lands before you book.

It should not. Rocklin bars commercial vehicles of thirteen tons or more from standing on the street between six p.m. and six a.m., and a 26-foot truck is rated at exactly thirteen tons. There is a delivery exemption in the same section, but we plan Rocklin moves to be finished and off the street by six rather than rely on it.
No, as it happens. The truck-route requirement applies to vehicles exceeding thirteen tons, and a 26-foot truck is rated at exactly thirteen tons — so it falls just outside. Rocklin publishes its truck routes in the code and on a map, but for a standard household move the approach is unrestricted.
No, and none is available. Rocklin Public Works issues only encroachment, overload transportation and street closure permits. The free residential street closure permit needs twenty days' notice and is designed for block parties, not moves. Tell us if access is tight and we will plan for it.
Rates start at $159/hour for two movers and a 16ft truck, $199/hour for three movers and a 26ft truck, $249/hour for four, and $299/hour for five. Add a one-time $99 flat rate for truck and gas, whatever truck size you need. You price the job yourself online — pick your crew, date and addresses and the quote comes back in minutes. No in-home visit, no sales call.
Six things, all of them listed up front: the $99 flat rate for truck and gas; packing supplies such as boxes, paper and bubble wrap; a $200 handling fee for any single item over 250 lbs (piano, gun safe, pool table, treadmill, massage chair); double drive time when your two addresses are more than 10 miles apart; overnight storage; and custom crating or specialty handling for antiques and delicate pieces.
