ST. PAUL -- Truck drivers will soon have other options when it comes to grabbing a bite to eat on the road.

Governor Tim Walz signed an executive order Friday allowing food trucks to sell fresh goods at up to six highway rest stops in Minnesota.

The new executive order goes into effect immediately.
