FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answering your questions about our food Truck manufacturing services.

Yes. We deliver direct to Gillette, WY, roughly 370 miles from our Denver-area shop, typically via I-25 north to I-90 east through Buffalo. Delivery includes a walkthrough of the generator, propane, water, and WDA paperwork, plus orientation on the features specific to energy-sector use.

Yes, this is core Gillette spec. We install full stainless underbelly pans, sealed plumbing chaseways, upgraded air intake pre-filters on the generator, hardened AC compressor shrouds, and rock guards on propane tank mounts. The truck is built to survive Highway 59 mine traffic.

Gillette operators need a Wyoming Department of Agriculture mobile food license, a City of Gillette business license, Campbell County sales tax registration, and Campbell County Public Health temporary food event permits for CAM-PLEX and fair work. For mine-site access, expect additional operator-specific safety orientation (MSHA or operator-level).

Absolutely. CAM-PLEX hosts 300+ events a year including National High School Finals Rodeo (when it’s in Gillette), industrial expos, and concerts. The key build choices: 10kW+ generator for multi-day operation, dual service windows, 150 gallon fresh water minimum, and a layout that can pivot between breakfast burrito service and full dinner menus.

Gillette winter lows average 5°F with extremes near -40°F. Our Wyoming winter package, spray-foam insulation, heat-traced plumbing, under-floor tank heaters, propane regulator de-icing, and optional block-heater integration, is built for the Powder River Basin reality, not the Front Range.

12-16 weeks build time from deposit, plus 2 days delivery. If you’re targeting Campbell County Fair in early August or a CAM-PLEX contract, sign 4-5 months ahead. For mine or energy-sector commissary work, we can prioritize B2B-spec builds with longer water and refrigeration runtimes.

On video: a Wyoming truck we built

Read the video transcript: Sodexo Cheyenne
Hello and welcome to Mile High Custom Food Trucks. Today we have a beautiful 16 ft truck that we built for Soro uh that we're just about to ship. Let me show you its uh main features. Come on in. Uh so right in front here is the hand wash and the three compartment. This one's going to Cheyenne County, Wyoming. And they require this uh drain boats on the side for drying the dishes. Of course, uh it comes with the napkin and soap dispenser and the on demand water heater over there, propane water heater. And right at the bottom is the fire extinguisher, ABC fire extinguisher and uh the various plumbing um the water pump and uh little ball valve for draining the water um in case of hard freezes. The hoses that we use are all UL listed so it doesn't chafe or break um due to sunlight or due to washing. All the gas burning in this and all the trucks and trailers that we built are under the floors of the truck. So in case there is a leak at the TE's and unions the gas it spills outside the truck and there is no explosion or or fire inside the truck. Um as the gray water tank it's 42 gallons. This is a three pan steam table and this is a refrigerator. This truck is going to do uh rice bowls, soups, ramen bowls and uh that kind of stuff which is why they need um steam tables. This is a combi oven. Um you can actually cook steak in it if you want to. Uh of course we have done the this requires water and the water plumbing for that is under the under the oven itself. uh it requires LP as well. Again, you can see the LP hoses over there. All pieces of equipment inside this truck and everything else that we build are of course bolted to the floor as well as to the walls. When we bolted to the floor, we use washes so it doesn't shake loose during transport. This is a hot holding cabinet to store burritos and that kind of stuff, breakfast burritos and kind of stuff. This is a self-closing window. This is required by code uh both in this county and elsewhere. Uh the idea is that the awning door that opens and then it's got this plexiglass windows which prop up and then when you're actually taking money or passing the product out, you just lift pass the product and it self closes. Little table over here for the PO station to receive orders. um wiring of course uh all the wiring that we do is inside conduits. This is done so that what happens is that walls of the of a food truck or a trailer, they're not waterproof. They're water resistant so to speak because it's not like wrapped in ty like a house. So water can get in and it can damage wiring. So we put them in these conduits so there is easy access to wiring and they are well protected. Tons of outlets everywhere uh to connect microwaves or P stations or any other piece of equipment that you need. Little sandwich prep over here. This is a 36 in sandwich. This over here is a junction box transfer box actually. So this truck has both generator power as well as shore power. So to switch from utility supply to generator supply, all you needed is to pull this to the side. Um this is the the junction box. Every piece of equipment inside this truck has its own outlets and they're all individually marked. This is done so that in case let's say this tube fails or the the or any other piece of equipment fails, it does not take any other uh any other equipment. Um, this is the generator box with a little remote for the Cumins generator. This has a Cumins 7,000 W uh gasoline generator. Although this is a diesel diesel truck, this is a freezer. Um, you can see it's already at -1 Fahrenheit. 36 in griddle and the two burner stuff. Um, and a chef base. Chef base is a kind of an under counter refrigerator. Um so to to enable really fast cooking. You can store your meats here, pick it up, cross it will cook it up and pass out. That's a 8ft hood with an fire suppression. And uh it has its own speed control. So in the summer you can turn it all the way high and in the winter you can keep it low. So this way you can ventilate this truck quite well. Talking about ventilation, this also has AC with heat. Uh so in case of a hard freeze, you don't have to completely drain all the water in the truck. Um you can just set this to 60 and then the truck will stay warm and that means it will freeze. Uh moving forward uh the Ansel fire suppression of course uh we really like using Anel especially because food trucks sometimes what happens is that they hit a hump and uh the fire suppression automatically deploys. Um never had that problem with Anel. I think that oh uh one last thing this is a TV box. Uh inside this is a TV menu display. It has its own awning and uh that is a HDMI cable over here so you can connect to a laptop and display your menu outside. We'll show you outside when we when we head out. Um, LED lights inside and out. Um, and uh, all stainless construction. The cooking wall is required to be all stainless. Uh, the rest can be a non-porous material. But this particular truck, it's stainless all all around and uh, diamond plate, aluminum diamond plate on the floor. That's about it on the inside and we'll show you on the outside. Uh outside on this uh 16 foot truck that we're shipping out to Cheyenne. On the outside here is the on for the 5T self-closing window. And this is how you fill water. You open this, put in the garden hose, and that fills the fan up. And to drain the water, you just pull a spudger and the water will come down. You can, of course, add a a 3-in hose to take it down to the dump. And this right here is the on for the TV box. The TV display. All the keys in this are matched. Every single key for this and for the generator are the outside here is just the LED outside lights and of course the beautiful wrap that's around it. This truck was built on a a Freight Liner chassis. This is how you fill propane. So, this this truck has a belly tank. So, what you do is you open this thing and it drops here once and then uh you put in your propane line over here. After you're done, it closes back up and uh that's it. On top right there is the 1500 CFM exhaust fan and it also has a little drain pan. So, these run down the side of the truck. This is the generator box housing the 7,000 W commence gasoline generator. inside. This is the the the fuel tank for the the gasoline engine on the generator. That's why because this truck is also the tail pipe. And last, this is the show. There's a man door in the back as well. get in and out of get in and out of this truck. That brings that brings us to the end of of the 16T truck that we live for. So, and thank you.
