10 thoughts on “Food truck operators feel regulatory pinch

    1. Kevin P. Please explain your reasoning. It seems that permits for food trucks should just insure health and safety.

    2. Ok, each jurisdiction has to provide: police, fire, emt service, 911 service, and counties provide health departments. Sewage, water, and streets are also provided. None of those services are free. If food trucks are selling and making a profit in those jurisdictions, then they need to pay for the mentioned services, like other businesses operating there.

  1. Ugh insure v ensure.

    Anyway, it’s not as if storefront establishments enjoy lax regulation. There are valid reasons for similar application to food trucks and I don’t buy the protectionism argument.

  2. Why wouldn’t they be subject to stern regulation? Typical brick-and-mortar restaurants have pages and pages of strict regulations they must follow. Most of which are designed to protect customers from food-borne illness, and protect workers against unsafe conditions. Food trucks are fun, but they should be strongly regulated because they’re not tethered to a firm location, which makes sanitation a different bargain. FWIW, a typical new restaurant has to get 12-14 permits, everything from zoning to health, and spend three times the food truck fees.

    1. Regulations wouldn’t vary by 400% if it was state standard. Noblesville is just ripping them off. Someone is getting bribed for that.
