Over the years the DNA of a food truck owner and the operator has shifted. While some food trucks are true entrepreneurs taking their passion for cooking to the road, a shift has occurred. In fact, the food truck industry continues to evolve and that entrepreneurial segment is only a small portion of the specialty food truck market.

Some of the greatest food truck and trailer inspiration comes from the ideas and implementation from others. We're going to take a look at a Project Spotlight: Custom BBQ Trailer to get some designer and engineering tips!

Let's begin with the customer vision:

Big D's BBQ Branson reached out to Kansas City's APEX Specialty Vehicles for a custom-built BBQ smoker trailer that will be traveling around the Branson, Missouri area serving smoked BBQ creations at community events, festivals, catering events, and weddings.
