Only do cash sales on my truck. Got tired of customers telling me that my bank machine must be broken. When in reality they most likely spent all their money. Fridays were the worst because people did not get paid. And clearly they had no savings in their bank account.
@@moxiesicecreamtruck I lose very few sales because of my rule. But they are usually prepared when I come the following week. I only do my streets once a week. Most parents do not want ice cream trucks screaming past their houses every day. So most of my customers ignore my competition when they drive by.
It's always interesting to see how things were made. Especially how normal vans or trucks just turn into an ice cream truck through the process of a couple of months or a year! I love the video!
@@view13s8 Don’t have a generator anymore. But it was gas. An electric “generator” actually doesn’t exist. They’re just lithium batteries that discharge power but they don’t “generate” anything…despite the name.
Where do you get your product stickers? I am out in Canada and my biggest issue is getting those pesky product stickers. I have had to print or make my own laminate and tape them to the truck. However, it does not look the greatest!
Nope...everyone who was interested either lowballed me so bad I got mad, or they had no money or credit. Some did both...I'll keep it and bank it all! Unless you want to make a great offer?
I have the medium roof, and I'm 6'0" even, and I can stand up straight inside with about an inch to spare. My son is 6'3" and he has to bend over a bit...
Hey, if you have money, you can buy anything you'd like...kidding, I don't sell a bunch of them, but a 9 year old won't get one. Never had an age limit, but if your mom say's OK, then you're an owner. I woudn't bother. The margin is slim, and they aren't very popular. Plus getting them is a real b*tch
I found them online. It was a kit especially made for the transit vans. They had all the vans kits available, but I can't remember what the companies name was...sorry!
I Love Ice Cream Trucks. I wish more would come by my house near Detroit MI. If I have time if I make it to the NHL this would be my backup job for fun
@moxiesicecreamtruck appreciate you answering back.. I just wanted an idea.. I currently have 3 jobs trying to make a better living.. I want to at least do something with my teen kid that can help out during summer break so I thought this would be something to do next year..
@@anamorales-gz6wo It's hard to share that info with someone I don't know. I can tell you what stuff costs. The freezer was 7K, and the van was 25k back in 2016. You could do it for a LOT less, but that's not how I roll. You could buy a regular van, and use chest freezers from home depot that are like 175 bucks. Throw some dry ice in there for the day and gross some money. The hardest thing to find is a distributor that sells the right ice cream novelties. Find that first , and quiz them up. Keep asking questions till you get the answers you want. You can do it!
Is it hard to sell the ice cream legally? What all do you need to sell it? Is it a county to county thing or when you get the licensing is it state wide?
No license needed in Oregon. Easy to sell. I can’t go anywhere without someone wanting ice cream. I get pulled over all the time by regular people. Gas stations, drive through restaurants etc
