Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: June 19, 2026
PitStop publishes free guides to help people start and run a food truck. Some of the outbound links in those guides are affiliate or referral links. If you click one and sign up or buy, PitStop may earn a commission or referral fee. This is disclosed in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements.
It never costs you anything extra
You pay the same price whether you use our link or go to the partner directly. The commission is paid by the partner, not added to your bill.
The kinds of partners we link to
These are the services a new operator typically needs anyway, alongside their permits:
- Business insurance and certificates of insurance (COI) — general liability coverage and the certificates that events and commissaries ask for.
- LLC and business formation — setting up the legal entity many operators form for liability protection.
- Equipment and truck financing — comparing options to fund a truck or its equipment.
- Point-of-sale systems — the card readers and software trucks use to take payment.
Our recommendations are honest
We only point to options we would genuinely suggest to an operator. A commission never changes what we recommend, and we try to note when a non-affiliate option is the better fit. If we ever think a partner is the wrong choice for your situation, we say so.
