So far so good. I love the short, subject focused information. The fact that it’s downloadable and easy to navigate is comforting.

This is what i expected. Going out on my truck will be a wonderful experience, I believe.

Very good overall, little updates may be needed. However, definitely learnt something new, so worth the time.
By Ali Wright on 3/3/2019
It’s VERY basic knowledge so far but it condenses all the important and necessary information.
By Danny Cunningham on 9/15/2018
Great info for covering the basics and getting into the industry. Not as good for those who have been in food service for some years. Briefs off of the slides with some additional info. The website he points to at the end of the course is okay.
By Jacob Perez on 4/19/2018
So far the course is very informative about what is needed to get a food truck started. It tells you the hard things that you could be doing.

After viewing and browsing through various platforms, I stumbled upon this course. It has briefly described each and every aspect about starting a Food truck business. I thought i knew it all, but every minute detail of the course was and is very helpful. My investors and partners were impressed by the level of research i have gained over time. I thank the author of the course, well done. A heads up to most of the user's - This course contains the rules and regulations for US businesses only. But that about 10% of it. Other than that I would recommend this course to a Novice as well as an expert. Truly a Food Truck University on steroids.
