The Food Truck Industry
Did you know the food truck sector has grown an annual 7.9 percent over a 5 year period? According to Foodtruckr.com it is one of the fastest growing segments in the food industry, and will continue to grow. The Food Truck industry is booming like no other! There are so many cultural based food options, with affordable and quick servicing, it is apparent why so many people choose ordering from a food truck.

Shipping your Food Truck
As I said above, there are many different makes, models, and sizes of Step Vans that can be converted into Food Trucks. Depending on your choice of unit, will also ultimately decide what is needed for shipping it. From 18ft to 27ft, Priority One Logistics can help with the logistic aspects of it all. Providing the right trailer is crucial due to the low lying back end of the step van behind the wheel base. The height of the unit is significant as well. Depending on what is added to the Food Truck, such as an air conditioner, and/or exhaust fan, this can increase the height tremendously. In order to keep the load under 13'6 which is regulation height for most states, typically they will need to be removed from the top of the unit before the scheduled transportation. Priority One Logistics will make sure this is completely handled and secured ahead of time so there are no set backs or delays. When choosing your transport company, verifying insurance, licensing, and bond information is very important, however making sure they are experienced in Food Truck Transport is vital.
