It's usually your aunties or uncles or family members running these trucks.
There's a very blurred line between the business and the people you actually know.

Just because someone sets up shop doesn't mean like they're a stranger.
That...
That's a person you grew up with and know.
And usually those businesses are set up out of necessity, you know, and they're not really set up as something like I'm going to go do this, you know.
It's like the only option to do that job.
