Providence has specific regulations and you need to follow health department regulations as well.

Don't know jack shit about how to start a food truck however I have seen a bunch of food carts/trucks who I doubt even have a vendors license.

Only illegal if you get caught.

Even if you get caught, catch and release.

Some cities in RI require residency to operate in, I know Pawtucket for sure.
