Sad in some ways

 They were certainly a welcome site at "smoko", however I felt for the drivers a little bit. Majority of the trucks were not all that roadworthy, and were often accidents waiting to happen. But I agree that they certainly has their place in the market, if not created the market all together.

 they certainly set the scene

 they certainly set the scene . in the end times were tough and repairs were minimal to all the trucks. 

majority of the drivers were friendly if they werent they didnt last long. their biggest competitor was street chef then tasty trucks from my understanding bought them out. now you mainly see tasty trucks and a few individually run ones out there now

 They use to be good if you had a big weekend and blew all your cash on the weekend. Use to be able to book up tick for your smokes and lunch until pay day.
