Where a portable kitchen trailer fits in Whiting
Subcontractors on a Whiting construction site rarely agree on a lunch spot, which is why an onsite construction kitchen that serves every trade is easier to schedule around.
Where a Whiting crew stays and eats
Crews working in Whiting often commute from East Chicago, 3 miles southeast. A portable kitchen trailer at the job saves the drive at lunch, and a shower trailer saves it at the end of the shift.
