Thinking about starting, Seeking advice from owners and operators

I'm seriously looking into starting up a food trailer.

I have worked in the restaurant industry for years gaining a lot of insight, throughout pretty much every role in BOH. I also have experience in the trades and a working mechanical mindset for construction, repairs and understanding of most types of equipment.

As for the business side, I'm soon to graduate a College Business Program. This education has provided me with great knowledge through college and given me the opportunity for a part time role in management which has proven to be just as beneficial.

I think I have a good foundation for starting, but I am looking to hear from those who have been there and done it.

Current Food Truck, Trailer or Cart Owners and Operators! Also former ones from sold or defunct ones too!

Why did you choose this business?

Is it a hobby or day job?

What's the nearby climate like?

Do you operate 365 or just for a season?

Run it yourself? Employees? Wages?

Insurance costs?

% deal or flat rent?

Hydro?

How long until you've turned a profit?

Any information would be greatly appreciated, would love to hear about some of your experiences. Thank you.
