Rental scenarios in Prien
A Prien general contractor weighing a construction site lunch truck against onsite construction catering can compare it with a trailer on the pad, which also holds up in weather.
Onsite construction near Prien
A road, utility or building crew working near Prien, 75 straight-line miles from Lafayette, may find no restaurant open at the right hour. A mobile commercial kitchen trailer on the construction site feeds the whole crew, and a restroom trailer covers sanitation.

McNeese State University in Lake Charles, about 5 miles from Prien, is the nearest school or campus in our records. Summer renovations or a failed walk-in can close a cafeteria, and a trailer kitchen keeps students fed.
