Summary
Chino Hills bars parking any commercial vehicle rated 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or more on residential streets between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. under Municipal Code Section 10.08.160. A related rule in Section 10.08.170 bars leaving any detached trailer or semitrailer standing on a public street at any time.
No person shall park or leave standing any commercial vehicle, as such is defined in the California Vehicle Code, having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of ten thousand (10,000) pounds or more on any street, or portion of such street, located in a residential district within the city during the hours of 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.

Full Breakdown
m. The rule does not touch daytime parking or non-residential streets. 170, which separately bars parking any trailer or semitrailer on a public street, alley, parkway, or public property unless it stays attached to a vehicle able to move it; that section carves out exceptions for trailers actively being loaded or unloaded and for those parked while performing a service on the same block, and it expressly states that a violation is an infraction. 12. Together the two sections keep tractor-trailers, box trucks, and unattached trailers off residential curbs overnight and off any street indefinitely when detached, pushing that equipment onto a driveway, a commercial lot, or a legally attached tow vehicle instead.
Violations & Fines
A commercial vehicle over the 10,000-pound threshold caught parked on a residential street between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. is subject to a parking citation from the Chino Hills Police Department; Section 10.08.160 does not label the offense an infraction, so the code's general penalty at Section 1.36.020 applies, with fines rising from $100 to $500 across repeat violations in a year. Leaving a trailer detached and unattended on a street is expressly an infraction under Section 10.08.170.
