Cities depend on daily deliveries, yet local ordinances often restrict where, when, and how trucks operate. This episode examines zoning gaps, delivery time windows, route restrictions, parking bans, and public perception through a civic lens. Without assigning blame, we explore how policy decisions shape freight movement—and what happens when cities attempt to push trucks out of sight while still relying on them to keep shelves stocked and infrastructure moving.
