In a time when many businesses have been forced to propose social distancing rules for their business and mask rules for their customers etc, or they have had to close or severely limit indoor dining, food trucks are able to continue thriving through the storm.
As far as social distancing goes the food trucks were already winning because they didn't need to worry about indoor dining, people just come up and order and take their food to go.
Not only can people stay distanced this way but they're also staying cashless too, and food trucks are starting to show up in more community areas and not their usual food truck festival scene that you might expect. You might find one just down the street from you for example, whereas before they might have been scattered all together in popular downtown areas.
They've been thriving with the social distancing model but they have also been helping during the lockdown as well. When many shops or stations might have closed during those few months in the beginning of the year, it became harder for people on the road to find food. Food trucks popping up along the highway gave those truckers and other travelers a food option when there might have been few or none.
A Business Success to Follow
The food truck model has been incredibly successful for some, that is if you were able to obtain the right permits and permission slips in order to start to do business. In many circumstances they are limited to how many trucks there can be in a region at one time, where they can serve as well.
Some famous restaurant chains have even turned to food trucks for promotional celebrations. Whataburger for example is going to be unveiling their own food truck this week. The truck is to celebrate their 70th anniversary. Overall, the food truck market has been one of the best performing sectors for the general food service market.
If it weren't for so much unnecessary regulation within this market too, there would be many more options available for people to choose from. There would be more freedom for those to also pursue their entrepreneurial dreams if it is to start their own food truck business and feed their communities.

Our foodtruck has done way better than expected during these times. We almost constantly sell out and stay busy every time we do a pop up. While it has been somewhat difficult in regards to the whole social distancing, the bigger hit is the shortage of food supplies we saw a few times.
We are blessed to have a supportive community in our city!
