Article 100, Definitions

"Service. The conductors and equipment for delivering electric energy from the
serving utility to the wiring system of the premises served."

"Feeder. All circuit conductors between the service equipment ... and the
final branch circuit overcurrent device."

What the OP has is a feeder, not a service.

Two examples...

#1 HV lines to transformer, trans to house meter, meter to panel, panel to
garage.

#2 HV lines to transformer, trans to meter on pedestal, meter to
distribution panel on ped, d-panel to house - d-panel to garage.

Using the two examples, please list the feeders and service conductors for
each.

So, for clarification, Ex #2 as posted earlier...

#2 HV lines to transformer, trans to meter on pedestal, meter to
distribution panel on ped, d-panel to house - d-panel to garage.

Can you run UF from the d-panel to a house/garage?
