    Selling out of a food truck should be easy money. In five years or less, you could become a millionaire.

    Go talk with someone that owns a food truck

    Not nearly as easy to turn a profit as most think

    Lot of politics involved, going up against brick and mortar shops. Lot of chain brick and mortar shops that lobby politicians to "level the playing field" with food trucks. In reality they're just tightening their profit margin.

    Artificial selection at it's finest

    Fried Oreos, Twinkies, and corn dogs? I will buy a set of defibrillators and follow you around with my cardiac arrest treatment business.

    Someone made a similar thread like this before... by the time you get your food license etc... and fight your competition off... it's not worth it. Everyone wanted a damn hot dog stand.

    its rediculously easy to make money in that business but its extremely hard to get started bc its almost impossible to find a place that will allow to set up shop.

    everyone in America is a greedy fukk and every rec association etc is going to have either have their own concession stand or put a ban other starting one on their property and not let some outsider make a dollar

    so basically you have to own the land if you want to start a business

    You're right. No one has ever opened a food truck business. My apologies for thinking someone had and missing the sarcasm. And thank you for the wonderful insight.

    that shit only sells at livestock shows/rodeos/county fairs and circuses/carnivals.....

    since he isn't gonna do well in that "leather chest strap harness" looking thing at a rodeo, I guess he'll be travelling with the circus, and bangin' carnies in no time

    I predict the bearded lady is his first tryst, as he was already braggin at the poker tables about how he loves his girlfriends "hairy ass"........

    (guys a fool, thinks this harry-assed "woman" has a 7" clit)

    i'm just saying opening a food truck is not a good business to start if you want to get rich. I suppose there are some that have made it big doing this and they are probably asian and live in Los Angeles and have extreme work ethics and are great cooks.

    Then we agree



    I know two individuals in OKC that had food trucks and did exceptionally well. Both ended up opening brick and mortar shops solely because state regulations were suffocating them.

    It would be easier to join one of the military branches, achieve confidence in a superior to sign off saying you may be a good prospect for special operations Forces, pass the training re-up for 5 years, leave and and join a mercenary company that deploys men to war torn countries that the USA has no diplomatic ties and extract hostages. Some real idiotic liberal thinking people send their kids to build houses or on atheist missions that get abducted and will pay HUGE DOLLARS to have kid extracted.
    This would be easier than starting a food truck business.
    If you really wanted to start a food business, get a beautiful women willing to wear a thong and a hot dog cart. You will be a millionaire within a few short years. If you go the food truck route just get a beautiful, thong wearing great public person female and you will be able to earn enough to pay all the red-tape liscenses etc. Don't get a Brutus looking guy, you will fail.

    You plan on parking a food truck outside a pain clinic in Missouri?

    That would be the worst of both worlds. I've been in a handful of pain clinics before. I always feel disgusting just being in there. They're usually pop up shops filled with junkies that don't have a dime to their name nor a shower in their house. Carpets are pungent and stained with god knows what, walls usually have a coffee teeth colour and the secretaries always have three or four Scentcys cooking because the clientele doesn't believe in hygiene.

    To make matters worse, the doctor typically runs on average about 3 hours behind, not sure why. This causes the rodents to bottleneck up in the waiting room making everything above 10X's worse.

    I don't think you can ever go wrong with deep fried oreos. I can only eat one because they are so sickingly sweet BUT they sure are good! Good luck with your new venture.

    how about a food truck that sells edibles in Colorado?

    that would be a major hit.

    Chicken Wings
    Waffles
    Burritos
    Pizza
    Weed Brownies
    Weed Popsicles
    Week Cookies
    chronic ice tea
