Hey guys!

 

im new to the vending business, I wanted to know if you all had any advice on how to transport my product from my car to the location. Also, what containers would you recommend? Should I use a dolly? 
 

Thank you,

  Get a good convertible dolly to transport your product from your vehicle to the location. If your doing snacks then get a plastic storage container to transport your snacks . 
  Get the best dolly that you can afford and you’ll appreciate the convenience that this gives you . 
    Best of luck to you !

I started working out of my car.  Get the biggest dolly you can fit.  If you have a minivan, you can probably squeeze a convertible dolly in there.  If it's a compact car, you'll have to settle for a little one.  I had a small (about 3' tall) dolly I fit in front of the front passenger seat.  For a tote, I started with a cheap plastic storage tote from Walmart that had attached an lid on it.  As cheap as they were, it did me justice for MANY years until I upgraded to a combination of very large soft plastic ones and medium sized heavy duty storage bins.  The heavy duty ones are hard plastic and stackable but currently expensive.  They are the kinds that distributors use to deliver to convenience stores.

I am still making do with  sterilite containers for snacks, as long as you get the latching lids they work pretty well.
