💩 Why it's ugly

Film and event trucks need space at inconvenient hours, with people wearing headsets asking where the restroom trailer goes. It is logistics with better coffee and worse sleep.

💰 Why it prints money

Productions, event companies, and commercial shoots often need short-term secure parking fast. Pricing can be premium because downtime is expensive and decisions happen under pressure.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
