Food Truck Transportation Across the Country
BAH Logistics USA moves food trucks to every state in the US. From a single truck purchase across state lines to a full fleet relocation, we connect you with licensed carriers who handle food trucks every day.
We cover all major routes and the routes in between. East Coast to West Coast, North to South, and everything in the middle. No matter where your truck is or where it needs to go, we will find a carrier, schedule the pickup, and get it delivered on time.
You do not need to drive it yourself, arrange your own carrier, or figure out permit requirements for oversized loads. We handle that. You focus on your business.
Types of Food Trucks We Transport
![[object Object]](/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2FtickIcon.7b56e4ac.png&w=64&q=75){kind=small}
Classic Walk-Up Food Trucks: Standard box trucks and step vans converted for food service are the most common type we ship. They are typically between 14 and 26 feet long and fit on a flatbed or step deck without issue.
BBQ and Smoker Trucks: BBQ trucks often carry large smokers or external fireboxes that add weight and require secure loading. We use carriers familiar with bracing and securing smoker equipment during transit.
Ice Cream and Dessert Trucks: Ice cream trucks range from compact vans to full-size converted trucks. Refrigeration systems need to be powered down before transport, and any liquid lines should be drained for longer shipments.
Pizza Trucks with Wood-Fired Ovens: Wood-fired pizza trucks carry heavy stone or brick ovens built into the truck. This concentrates significant weight in one area, which affects how the truck is loaded and balanced on the trailer.
Coffee and Espresso Trucks: Coffee trucks tend to be smaller vehicles with custom cabinetry and espresso equipment. They ship easily but require loose equipment and accessories to be secured before loading.
Taco and Mexican Food Trucks: Standard step vans with griddles, steam tables, and prep equipment. These transport well on flatbed or step deck trailers and are among the most common food trucks we ship.
Burger and Sandwich Trucks: Similar in size and build to taco trucks. Grills and fryers should be cleaned and cooled before pickup. Any grease traps should be emptied.
Seafood and Lobster Trucks: Seafood trucks with live tanks or large refrigerated compartments require special preparation. Tanks should be fully drained and refrigeration units cleaned and powered off before the carrier arrives.
Vegan and Plant-Based Food Trucks: These vary in size and configuration but operate in the same way as any standard food truck. Preparation requirements are similar to those of other truck types.
Food Trailers and Pull-Behind Units: Food trailers are loaded onto a flatbed carrier for long-distance transport rather than being towed. This is safer and more practical for cross-country moves and protects the trailer from highway wear.
Concession Trailers: Concession trailers used at fairs and festivals can be quite large. Depending on dimensions, they may require a step deck or lowboy and oversized load permits. We confirm all requirements before booking.
Vintage and Retro Food Trucks: Older trucks need extra care during loading due to their structural age. Enclosed transport is recommended for vintage builds to protect original bodywork and custom finishes.
Custom-Built Food Trucks: Fully custom trucks have unique dimensions, weights, and equipment configurations. We review these details before assigning a carrier to ensure the right equipment and loading approach is used.

Types of Trailers We Use for Food Truck Transport
Flatbed Trailers
Flatbed trailers are the most versatile option for food truck transport. They have an open deck with no sides or roof, making loading straightforward. They work well for standard food trucks and step vans within normal height limits.
Step Deck (Drop Deck) Trailers
Step deck trailers sit lower than a standard flatbed, which provides extra vertical clearance for taller trucks. If your truck has rooftop equipment like exhaust hoods, HVAC units, or ventilation stacks, a step deck is often the right choice.
Lowboy Trailers
Lowboy trailers sit very close to the ground and are built for heavy or extremely tall loads. They are used for larger food truck builds that exceed the clearance of a standard flatbed or step deck.
Enclosed Trailers
Enclosed trailers fully surround your food truck during transport. They are used for all enclosed transport orders and protect against weather, road debris, and road conditions.
Removable Gooseneck (RGN) Trailers
RGN trailers detach at the front so the deck drops to ground level. This makes loading heavy or large trucks much easier and safer. They are used for large custom builds that cannot be easily winched onto a ramp.
Double Drop Trailers
Double drop trailers provide maximum height clearance with an extra-low center section. They are reserved for very tall food truck configurations that exceed clearance on other trailer types.
Multi-Car Hauler Trailers
Multi-car haulers carry multiple vehicles on stacked decks. They are used when shipping more than one food truck at a time, such as a fleet relocation or a multi-unit purchase.
Food Truck Transport Cost: What Affects Your Rate?
As a general range, food truck transport falls between $500 and $2,500 for most domestic routes. Oversized or custom trucks on longer routes may cost more. Request a quote with your specific details for an accurate number.
Distance. The farther the destination, the higher the total cost. Cost per mile typically decreases on longer routes.
Truck size and weight. Larger and heavier trucks require specific trailer types and may need oversized load permits, which affects the rate.
Transport type. Enclosed transport costs more than open-air. Expedited delivery costs more than standard scheduling.
Route demand. High-demand routes and peak seasons, particularly summer and fall when events are frequent, can affect carrier availability and pricing.
Pickup and delivery access. If either location is difficult for a large carrier to access, it may affect scheduling and cost.
Food Truck Transport Insurance and Cargo Protection
All licensed carriers are required to carry cargo insurance. Before your shipment, here is what you should know.
Carrier liability coverage applies to damage caused directly by the carrier during loading, transit, or delivery. This is included with every shipment.
What may not be covered includes pre-existing damage, mechanical issues unrelated to transport, and personal items left inside the truck. Equipment mounted inside the truck may or may not fall under carrier coverage depending on the policy terms.
Your own policy may provide additional coverage during transport. Check with your commercial vehicle insurance provider before shipping to understand what you already have.
Additional coverage is available through third-party insurers if you want protection beyond what the carrier provides.
Always review the bill of lading at pickup and delivery. This document is the official record of your truck's condition and the terms of the shipment. Do not sign at delivery until you have inspected the truck.
Food Truck Shipping Options We Have
Preparing Your Food Truck for Transport
- Clean cooking equipment. Empty and clean all fryers, grills, and cooking surfaces. Grease and food residue can shift or create issues during transport.
- Secure loose items. Anything that can move inside the truck should be removed or secured. This includes cookware, containers, utensils, and portable appliances.
- Drain all liquids. Water tanks, sinks, and liquid lines should be fully drained. Fluids shift during transport and can cause damage or leaks.
- Disconnect and address the propane. Propane lines should be disconnected, and tanks turned off. Many carriers require tanks to be removed before loading. Confirm this requirement when booking.
- Set the fuel to a quarter tank or less. Most carriers require fuel tanks to be no more than 25 percent full. Confirm the requirement with your carrier.
- Document the truck's condition. Photograph the exterior and interior before pickup. This is your record if any issues arise at delivery.
- Note any existing damage on the bill of lading. Pre-existing dents, scratches, or damage should be written on the pickup paperwork. This protects you from any disputes at delivery.
- Make sure the truck starts. The carrier needs to drive the truck onto the trailer. Confirm the battery is charged and the truck is running before pickup day.
