Can someone connect me to a list or source of the current active food truck courts in greater Jacksonville please?

When I've looked in the past it's pretty scattered; couldn't find a single list or two.

That's been my experience, as well. I talked to one of the Truckies down at the downtown food court near The Landing Grass Lot and he said about 300 active Truckies working greater Jacksonville. You would think they would have a better online presence. Maybe it's "every man for himself" in that industry.

It's got links to individual trucks but not a place where they can register for their daily location, from what I can see......

On a related note, besides the Urban Food Court across from The Landing Grass Lot, where are there any other Food Truck Courts?  Does anyone have a favorite place they visit where MORE THAN ONE TRUCK is serving.?

Or maybe they're just busy trying to make a living.  Jax truckies used to have the location of all of the trucks, but that was before the number has exploded.  The popular ones don't really need to advertise beyond their own social media, so that's all they do.  Others are doing their best, but the life of a food truck operator seems like a pretty hectic one to me.

Try sending them a private message or emailing them directly.

I did. Just wandering if there are any places where multiple trucks gather ...... my friend who lives at the Beaches said "NOT THAT HE KNOWS OF."

I'm sure there are certain places like the food truck park on Hogan Street in Downtown. Whoever is running Jax Truckies these days would know these locations off the top of their head. They'd have more knowledge on this topic than the average poster here or random people at the beaches.

I've been making progress and learning. The 'old school' approach of asking questions to a food truck owner has been the best source of info. I did connect with "Jax Food Truck Food Court" on Facebook as well.
