Licenses vary from city to city, but are required by most. We recommend that you contact your local city hall for details.
As a rule of thumb, there is a lower barrier of entry for novelty trucks than scooping. Novelty trucks sell only pre-packaged items and typically do not require running water, contrary to scooping into cones. We have a wide variety of pre-packaged frozen novelties.
Before you get started, you will need an ice cream truck, bike or push cart. We do not have ice cream trucks for sale or rent, but we can provide you with a referral and discuss your options.
We do occasionally have freezers available for sale, and plenty of expertise to offer. Make sure you research the best type of freezer and power source for you. Contact us for information.
Your customer’s safety is your responsibility. It should always be your number one priority. Take any and every precaution necessary because your main clientele are children. Use common sense and remember that you are responsible for the life of your customers. At minimum, stay alert and never drive in reverse.
Check out the IAICDV website to get more information regarding safety.
There is nothing more iconic than the universally recognized “ice cream song”. However, be aware that many cities have ordinances against playing music. Always check with your city first.
Repeat customers are the key to your success as a mobile vendor. High quality, premium branded ice cream and great service is a great way to keep your customers coming back every day.
This is not legal advice; always check with your local governing body because bylaws vary from city to city.
