Where a food truck may park and sell is set by each town, not the county. A state-licensed hawker and pedler is subject to local rules under MGL c.101 §22, so Plymouth County towns designate vending locations and hours through local regulation.
MGL c.101 §22 provides that a licensed hawker or peddler is subject to the local rules a city or town adopts, giving each community control over where mobile vendors operate. Plymouth County towns use that authority to keep trucks off certain streets, limit hours, require distance from established restaurants, or confine vending to approved lots and events. Brockton sets its own downtown and park rules; coastal towns such as Plymouth, Marshfield, and Scituate regulate vending near beaches and harbors. A truck must follow the vending-zone rules of each town it works, on top of the state license.
Vending outside an approved zone or hours breaches the town's local rules; police or health agents can order the truck to move, issue fines, and report violations against the state license.
