Thinking about adding a game truck, or tired of fighting price‑cutting competitors in your party rental market? Watch this.
Frank Cruz went from selling phone cases at a flea market and working Uber nights… to owning two game trucks, quitting his 9–5, retiring his wife, and becoming the top‑rated game truck company in his metro area with 465+ 5‑star reviews.
In this episode, you’ll hear how he:
• Turned a random Forbes article into an 8‑year game truck business
• Quit his international sales job after the trailer replaced his income
• Uses reviews, “answer-the-phone” service, and speed‑to‑lead to win in a market with 25–30 competitors
• Prices his trucks ($450+ for 2 hours) and books 3–4 parties per trailer per day
• Built packages like a $1,100 “Summer Bash” by stacking game truck + foam + water tag
• Thinks about marketing: Google Ads, Meta, EventHawk pop‑ups, and 3 months minimum to judge results
• Delegates hard: game coaches, social media, and marketing so he can buy back his time
• Uses other people’s money (credit, low‑interest loans) to grow without draining his own cash
If you’ve ever said “my market is too saturated” or “I’m too small to hire help,” this conversation will punch holes in those excuses fast.
