why wont my trailer lights work?
I have a hot dog cart with tail lights. When I turn my truck lights on (05 F150) the tail lights wont work. I can get one blinker to operate correctly, but when I turn the other one on, both tail lights flash. I seem to be getting power from two pins when I test with a meter, but one has no power ( even with the lights to the truck on ). I had a 4×8 cargo trailer and everything worked fine at first and then the tail lights did not work on that, just the blinkers and the hazards. Could this be a fuse on the truck? Sorry for writing a book.
If all the lights on your truck work you’ve lost connection from the source wire to your pigtail receptacle. Get a 12v test light put it to a good ground and check the pins at your receptacle. You should have juice to at least three pins (generally the white is ground and won’t show hot). Trace the wires back to their source of power. Before going through that your test light should have a sharp point at the tip for penetrating the insulation of the wire. Check each wire at the back of the of the pigtail receptacle. Some wires may have pulled out of there. Which may be why you’re getting flashing of both turn signals when one is applied. Somewhere both turn signals are getting juice when one is applied. If you have juice at the pigtail receptacle it could be wires pulled lose in your trailer pigtail. Slide back the cover and make sure they are all connected securely and no stray wire of one touching another.

Lonchero-Charlotte
On Monday Charlotte City Council will vote on a proposal that places tight restrictions on Latino owned taco trucks operating primarily along Central Ave. and South Blvd. while exempting other mobile food vendors such as downtown hot dog carts, and ice cream trucks.
This ordinance is based on perception and not fact. It disproportionately affects one ethnic group, and does not consider the market forces that make these businesses successful.
If passed as written, Zoning Petition 2008-79 will put taco trucks out of business. These trucks are a culinary and cultural treasure and are economic engines for the areas in which they operate. The taco truck owners need your support to overcome powerful opposition.

how much money does a hot dog cart owner make?
Hi I am curious from personal experiences, how much have you made with a hot dog business. I just want to know so I can judge how much I can make with it, of course more time equals more money, and also what dangers have you faced operating your own carts, and what measures did you take? Thanks for your time and openness
Oh, good question. My parents ran a hot dog cart as the family business from the time I was 12 until the time I was 19, so I’ve got a little experience with it.
The number one things to remember is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. We had a great location when we started out - outside a bar in a college town. We’d sell from 10pm-3am (one hour after closing time) Thurs-Saturday, every weekend, and made good money. On a good weekend, we would bring home $2,000 for the weekend, 2/3 of that was profit. The average we made for a weekend (because in the winter we made less than the spring or fall), was about $1,200, and again, 2/3 of that was profit.
Eventually we lost that spot because of local politics, so we had to move to another location. This spot wasn’t as good, so we didn’t do it as long. We sold during the day to the lunch crowd outside of a bit corporate health facility and local news station, and brought in about $125-$150/day (we only sold on weekdays with good weather), again about 2/3 profit.
At that point, we also began to cater parties, which for a long time was where the real money was. It was easier - show up with the cart, cook, collect our check from the party’s host, and leave. We charged about $6-$10 per person (depending on the variety of food they wanted, including if they wanted us to bring salads and sides), and actually made more than 2/3 profit because people paid by the person, but didn’t eat as much at parties.
The other thing we did was sell from the cart at local festivals. This was very hit or miss - sometimes the festival would be rained out and we’d lose money, sometimes it would be perfect weather with tons of people, and we’d bring in thousands of dollars for the weekend. You never could tell, so gradually we stopped doing festivals because they were so unpredictable.
There aren’t too many dangers to running a hot dog cart, honestly, as long as you don’t sell in a dangerous part of the city, and you always work the cart in pairs. Your regular customers become quite protective of you, and will fend off any jerks that come along. The real thing you have to keep in mind is that you must pass all local health regulations and keep up to date on them, and be very careful about food safety while working. Food safety should be your highest priority! And again, never work the cart alone - I would highly suggest you always have two people working, for safety as well as making it easier to serve your customers.

Hot Dog Cart Info?
Where can one find FREE info on starting and running a hot dog cart business? I’ve talked to the manufacturers but they all want to sell you something. I’ve been on forums and mostly they crack jokes or just answer in some vague way that makes you think Operating a Hot Dog Cart is a religious experience. I just want someone to give me straight info on what to do and how to do it. Maybe just a run down of what I should expect operating a cart for a weekend.
I’m considering doing a cart myself at the beginning of next year so I’ve done a little research.
Try this website
http://www.willydogs.com/business-guide/index.html
They sell carts but they have a free sample business plan that you can look at and get an idea of what you’re up against. Of course, the financial info is different for everyone but it will at least give you an idea. You can also try this site to show you income potential.

As far as the cart itself, the All American Cart seems to give you the most bang for your buck compared to most others I’ve seen. This is their website…
