Hi Jason,
Thanks for writing. Unfortunately, those trucks are not covered under the city's idling laws. They have permission to run their diesel generators to power their food making. Sometimes the generators can be upgraded to newer, cleaner versions, but their purchase is up to the owner of the truck. Perhaps you could try to communicate directly with the truck owner?
Sorry we couldn't be more helpful.
