Food truck owners in various cities have been engaged in ongoing fights with bureaucrats, because they want the freedom to be able to compete in the market and many cities have established restrictions that prevent them from doing just that.
Food truck owners have launched a variety of lawsuits over this matter, arguing that their Constitutional rights are being violated and that these rules are discriminatory against their business.
In some instances, where those regions have already been sued over the restrictions, such as Carolina Beach, in North Carolina, they've had to reverse the prohibition and allow the food trucks to enter the market.
What the rules against these food trucks do is work to reduce the competition in the market and they violate the basic liberty of those individuals, to serve others in a voluntary manner; those who are willing to exchange for the product.
Court Rules: Stop The Food Truck Ban
These food truck owners are paying for the same permits, licenses, inspections etc, as other food establishments in the local market, and they want to compete just the same.
The law in that region had banned food trucks from operating within 500 feet of any restaurant or business that is selling food, but that sort of business restriction has been deemed unconstitutional repeatedly when challenged in court.
