Please tell me how you know that.

A vehicle is not "premises." Building and land are premises. The law allows the same exceptions for recreational vehicles with living quarters as for residences.

However, you can legally carry a handgun in a vehicle as long the handgun is concealed. That right will become better-defined on September 1.

If you are going to carry only in a vehicle, you can also carry a shotgun or carbine and avoid any possible misunderstanding about handguns.

Ok you got here but come September 1 the bill HB 823 states that:
defense presumption that a person is traveling if he is:
in his private vehicle;
not otherwise engaged in criminal activity (other than a traffic offense);
not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing a firearm;
not a member of a criminal street gang; and
not carrying a handgun in plain view.

IMHO the only thing I can think of where a truck is a place of business is an ice cream truck, a tool truck or some other type of truck that has items for sale out of it. In these cases I would think yes.

Another option would be a commercial truck driver.

In some or all of the above cases, the traveling law may apply as well
