I have received complaints from another food truck that you are not returning to the commissary. After discussing the issue you stated that you return every other day. The rules require that you return to the commissary every day. Mobile food units shall operate in conjunction with a permitted commissary and shall report at least daily to the commissary for supplies, cleaning, and servicing. Please follow the rules and do the right thing!!!
