Narrative:
Landing at pbi after declaring an emergency. On final approach to runway 13, an airport services truck west/O a radio was crossing the threshold of runway 13 and then proceeded down the left side of runway. Because of the emergency situation, I elected to continue with the approach and land past the truck. The emergency was due to a failure of the #2 engine. A missed approach would have been unwise due to only having 1 functioning engine.
