One truck. Fifty rulebooks.
Your truck is mobile. Your permits are not. Until this year almost every city wrote its own permit rulebook — then Texas, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma started tearing theirs up and replacing them, and plenty of official pages still teach the retired rules. This site tracks the new ones, state by state and city by city, with the date each rule was checked.
The kit
$29
The free checker answers the question. The kit is the paperwork: the per-state path sheets, the Texas transition walk-through, the reciprocity playbooks, and the documents — commissary agreement, inspection checklists, event tracker, fee worksheets — that turn an answer into a filed, inspected, legal truck. Your truck is mobile. Your permits are not. This is the document set that closes the gap, in every state you will ever roll into.
Get the FoodTruckCleared Kit — $29
One payment of $29. No subscription. Delivered as a web page you can return to and print.
Seven working pieces on one page you can return to and print: Permit Path sheets for all 51 jurisdictions; the Texas HB 2844 transition guide; reciprocity playbooks for Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma; the fill-in commissary agreement template; health and fire inspection checklists; the event and temporary-permit pack; and fee worksheets with a renewal calendar.
Theirs is a good kit — for Texas, from a firm whose real business is human services (consultations, reviews, and a $1,200 full-service filing). Ours covers all 51 jurisdictions, is built around the free reciprocity checker, and adds the documents no Texas-only kit carries: the commissary agreement template, the event pack, and the corridor playbooks. Same price shelf, different product — and we sell no services on top of it.
The kit's state sheets cover the state-law layer for all 51 jurisdictions and the metro layer for the twelve cities we track deeply. Below that layer, it teaches you the exact questions to put to the local office and gives you worksheets to record the answers — because anyone who claims a static document covers every small town's parking rules is selling you stale paper. Our correction log shows how we maintain what we do cover.
No. It is permit information and paperwork organization: the rules as published, the steps in order, the documents prepared. Issuing offices decide applications; this kit makes sure yours arrives complete, in sequence, with the right agreement attached.
Because the buyer already spent five or six figures on the truck and pays the state hundreds more in fees — the map should not be the expensive part. Consultants charge $500–$1,500 for the same orientation; we priced the kit at the Texas incumbent's shelf, with more in the box.
