Testimonials

I was just crunching some numbers and wanted to share with you how valuable being a member of the WSFTA is as a business. Feel free to use this info for anyone that may be inquiring on membership or for any reason you may find it helpful! We just ask to remain anonymous if you do share. For 2023, we vended at 3 of your managed locations 23 times for a total revenue of almost $12,000. We also were able to secure 9 events from your "Request a truck" emails! This brought in just over $13,000 AND we've got some repeat clients this year moving forward! Also, for our numbers you have to keep in mind that our overhead is much lower than most due to small trucks, one person operated services (mostly ourselves), and low menu prices. The moral of my story here is we appreciate you as an entity and as people for existing to help us generate business; so THANK YOU! - Melissa Morgan

We found membership in WSFTA to be highly beneficial as we were exploring our options, which included the possibility of a food truck. You were extremely communicative and helpful in many ways, for that we are extremely grateful. I have worked with many member associations in my previous gigs and hope you know your dedication to your mission and service to your members is second to none. In short, thank you for your guidance and support. You exceeded expectations. - BB of 45 Brewhouse

“Dear Lori and Tim, Thank you both for assisting with this process and the words of encouragement.  It’s important to have resources like yourselves that understand and can help the rest of us navigate the governmental red tape.

“Though we are new vendors and have only been with the Washington State Food Truck Association for a matter of a few months, it’s blatantly obvious that this is an organization that gets things done, and gets them done fast. Whether it’s finding new locations for food trucks to work, dealing with cities that are overcharging our mobile units, or being totally on top of the latest legislative issues, the Washington State Food Truck Association is working tirelessly for us all. At the annual meeting we just attended, we found ourselves wondering, “When does Lori even sleep? We could not recommend this valuable organization more. Please join, so we can be even stronger than we already are.” - Dale and Monica Caulfield of Taco Bahia Food Truck
