Hey brother I love the authenticity of this video. So humble and informative. It's been 1 year. Did you make an updated video? I'm launching here in NYC in about a month. I've practiced, ran my numbers, have so much support and I still think I will under deliver. Hope all is well my guy
Yeah I just gotta say thank you. I couldn't find anything that just shows a for real look at the behind the scenes. Im nervous as heck about starting up in the next few weeks with my own truck. You eased my nerves man. Thank you.

How about putting a sign down the road on the side where they can't see you to alert them that you are coming up? Great video. Thanks.
Love the video, been catering with a friend of mine for awhile and have been considering starting my own truck. A couple of things that I would be interested in seeing would be, and I understand if you'd rather not share, like average operating cost and what to expect from maintenance. Startup tips alone could be an extremely helpful video, I don't know about others but I really don't have a good metric for what I should be expecting to put into a decent truck to start with. Lastly, and again it's none of my business, but you might have more business if you angled your truck so it catches the eye from traffic coming from the other side as well. In any case good luck and thanks again for the video.

heyy ! thanks for the comment. i was going to make a start up video because there is alot to it that no one ever shares. your first steps would be at your local board of health. the operating cost would depend on what kind of food and supplies you would need, i could make a video on all my expenses and you could compare to what u would be doing. as far as the truck placement at this location this is kind of the best position the ground is very uneven so i try to keep it as level as i can. i cant face the road directly and behind me is woods. we do alot of events and party’s so this is just a few days a week. you can always shoot me a message on facebook and instagram if you have any questions @turburritos

Thank you for all of this info. You are right, there really aren't beginner videos out there. I'm wanting to start up a food trailer, and I can't find any helpful videos on the actual operations of the trailer. I am thinking about going to an outside town/city, and asking if I can tour one of their trailers and ask questions/take notes, that way I'm not scoping out the local competition.

you should go to your local BOH and get the application. they will have all the requirements you will need for your truck or trailer that way u no what u need when your buying. working the truck itself is basically just getting familiar with everything and how to use it all. customer service is big, i treat everyone like family and friends. i do check out all my local truckers to see how they run there business and get ideas for myself. you definitely should start a facebook and instagram business page and let everyone know your coming soon and grow a customer base , if your on facebook check out the group “food truck training” its ran by bill moore he wrote a few books , very helpful i would recommend getting the food truck 101. if you have any questions you can send me a massage on facebook or instagram @turburritos. if you can please give my pages a follow. best of luck on your new adventure!!

My father and grandfather both owned restaurants. This will be a shift from my norm, but I'm excited about it. There's a lot to learn and a lot to pack into a small space.

what I did was I friended a lot of the local food trucks on Instagram and started talking to them also visiting their truck to get to know a few of the guys and then when you do an event with them you at least know them which is pretty nice. as far as DoorDash goes being a new business on their platform the fees that they charge are a lot plus the prices that they have each item for is expensive so I really don’t make any money with DoorDash if they lowered the fees and stuff like that it might be worth it
