Checklist for Starting a Food Truck Business

This checklist for starting a food truck business runs in the order agencies expect: business setup first, then permits and licenses, then the truck itself, then opening day. Doing it out of order is the most expensive mistake in this industry - a truck bought before plan review often has to be rebuilt. Progress saves on your device as you tick items off.

Rules and regulations differ by state - who licenses the truck, whether you need a commissary, and what plan review costs. Find yours on the state pages, then prep for the visit with the inspection checklist.
