Why do food trucks need insurance?

As a food truck owner, you are an expert in street food. People line the blocks to taste your daily specials. But when it comes to insurance, you may not be aware of how essential insurance coverage can be to the survival and success of your mobile food business.

Beyond workers’ compensation to protect your employees and commercial auto to cover your food truck, venues may require you to carry general liability insurance.
