My daughter wants to start her own business....an ice cream truck. I was hoping someone on here would know someone that might be selling one. My mother -n-law said she thought someone in Petal has them for sale but when I called that number it wasn't working. I have been on the web and can't find one yet. Would like to buy one locally if I can. It needs to be cute and cheap. I not rich. Please help me.

That's an interesting post. Never thought where I'd buy an ice cream truck if I wanted one. Sorry, Honey. I'm no help.

What about that place near Collins? They have just about every kind of truck you can imagine sitting beside the road.

There's just something irresistible about a thread called "Know where to buy an ice cream truck" started by HONEY. My first thought was, uh-oh, the casino thing has gone totally out of control. ;)

If I get on 49N, is Collins the first town or is that Magee? Which one is closer to Hattiesburg and which one is closer to Jackson. I get them confused. I might go look. Or if anyone knows the name I'll call them first.

Yeah but I don't do so well in jail. You know....don't play well with others. And besides they never let me polish my nails in there.

:laugh: Yeah! I know what you mean. I thought she had hit the big one! I figured she cleaned it out and was ready to start spending on all kinds of fancy things. I thought I heard all the bells going on and alot of gonging going on...maybe it was just my wind chimes in the background! :)

Honey,

Are you kidding me? I wanted to do this about 5 years ago. I think it is an excellent idea. My Daddy or my husband would not buy me the truck but I seriously looked. I thought it would be good to work the west neighborhoods in the summer months. I thought the kids could come with me. We would do Bent Creek, Woodstone, Canebrake, and possibly some other heavily populated 'hoods. Big Daddy wasn't into it like I was but I swear I think it would work.

Good luck!

Been looking for an hour or so... Apparently there are not that many around here...
I am still searching but it doesn't look promising :(

I think we have a winner. We found the perfect web site for ice cream trucks. First we found one she liked in Texas. I thought we were heading out the door. Then she found one in Tampa but that person hasn't called back or answered email. But now we have found the perfect one. Only it is in California. Anybody going there this week? Hubby has called and talked to the man and now he is trying to find shipping arrangements. Or if we drive out there then we can rent uhaul trailer to bring it back. Trying to decide which to do.

I'm afraid that might be something like a Thelma and Louise trip. And I ain't going in the Grand Canyon.

Well what was wrong with the truck I posted??? Had you rather have pedals on it so she could have some serious exercise?
