What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chick Fil A's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any individual driving a Chick Fil A food truck must meet specific requirements. These requirements include satisfying all state and local regulations for operating a commercial food truck, as well as meeting all insurance requirements for the food truck.
In addition to state, local, and insurer requirements, Chick Fil A specifies minimum requirements. Drivers must be at least 21 years old and possess a valid driver's license, a copy of which the Operator must maintain. Furthermore, drivers must not have a history of serious violations within the past five years or more than two moving violations in the last three years, based on a review of the driver's Motor Vehicle Record.
It is important to note that if state, local, or insurance requirements are more restrictive than Chick Fil A's minimum requirements, the more stringent requirements will take precedence. The Chick Fil A operator is responsible for ensuring that all drivers meet these standards. For the purposes of these requirements, two moving violations include speeding, failure to signal, improper passing, following too close, careless driving, not wearing a safety belt, and expired tags and plates as well as no proof of insurance. Serious violations include any alcohol related violation, racing/speed contest, reckless driving, vehicular homicide or assault, conviction of a crime involving a motor vehicle, eluding or attempting to elude a police officer, and hit and run.
