Tennessee town to require food trucks to relocate every 24 hours

May 17, 2018

Food trucks in Lebanon, Tennessee, will be required to move every 24 hours under an ordinance recently approved by the city council, according to WKRN-TV. The ordinance also requires trucks to have self-contained power and be in a self-contained vehicle.

One council member said he has seen some food trucks stay in the same place for months.

Gary Lindsey, a customer, said he doesn’t like the rule because he likes knowing where his favorite food truck will be.

The ordinance is scheduled for a second reading in the coming weeks. The deadline for compliance is July 1, after which noncompliant food trucks face a $50 fine.
