Narrative:
1st leg of the day; during the phase of after landing on my way to the designated cargo parking area I [experienced] a surface incident with a vehicle. I was taxiing the airplane in the non-movement area at slower speed because there is a narrow turn coming up ahead. I spotted a vehicle (ford F150 with a yellow strobe on the roof) and he was on a completed stop on the vehicle lane and my understanding since he was on a complete stop he was giving way to me. As I keep on approaching he suddenly took off and passed just front of the airplane. Immediately I slammed into the brakes and turn slightly to avoid the truck. He continued on driving. I reported this event to the ground controller and airport authorities. After post flight was completed there were no sign of tire flat spot or damage to the airplane.suggestion: placing painted stop sign on the pavement on the vehicle lane to create awareness.
