Hudson Trailer Company Custom Mobile Business & Food Trucks

It was an absolute pleasure working with Suzanne from the Hudson Trailer Company. From start to finish she was extremely responsive & brought our dream of building a mobile bar to life! She is very knowledgeable in what she does & to be honest we would have been lost without her. We look forward to expanding our fleet of trailers in the future & Suzanne will be our first call!

Overall I received an okay product from Hudson Trailer Co. but not a great one. There were some good aspects of working with them, but the ultimate result was far below my expectations, and there have been seemingly never-ending issues with the build since I’ve taken possession. For example the wrong climate control units were installed, leaving me with no heating right before the winter, the wrong type of kegerator was installed, numerous items in the contract were not fulfilled, and there were egregious examples of poor craftsmanship and attention to detail, such as multiple bugs trapped in the exterior paint. After my initial engagement with Hudson, I was impressed with their knowledge, experience, and skillset, and they seemed like the perfect fit to execute my vision. As this was a custom project with essentially nothing else to compare to, I was looking to Hudson to guide me through the process and utilize their seemingly extensive experience building mobile businesses to implement my ideas in a beautiful, impressive manner. Not only was the final product well below my expectations, the process overall left a lot to be desired and did not feel professional at all. The frequency and quality of build progress content was disappointing. I made it clear that a key part of my strategy was generating attention on social media, but not a single video was ever provided of the build process, despite multiple requests and a very well-known trend on Instagram toward video content. The photos that were provided were almost always low quality and less than ideal for social media or for truly evaluating the quality and correctness of the work. At no point did I feel they were seriously concerned about my ability to generate business before the completion of the build. There was essentially no formal project tracking or organization: - No project schedule was ever produced - No list of outstanding tasks or punch list items was ever shared with me - No regular formal project status meetings or reports were ever done - No design documents or drawings were ever created Hudson was at the very high end of the bids I received for the project, so that led me to believe that premium materials, fine craftsmanship and professional project management would be integral to their process. The reality is that they charge a premium price for a sub-par product. The build was reportedly finished a week before I arrived to pick it up, so they had ample time to conduct quality control and verify the completeness of all items. Unfortunately it has become apparent that those were not done. I’ve already spent over $10,000 and dozens of hours to correct mistakes and redo inadequate work in the first few months. The 2-star review from Lana Samara is 100% correct. I wish I would have followed her advice to have a trusted 3rd party do a full inspection before taking possession and making the final payment. After evaluating almost 10 different builders, I selected Hudson for the project because they seemed to have the most complete set of skills, experience and expertise to shepherd me through the build and execute a concept that matched my vision. Unfortunately, I’m left to believe that I would have received a superior product from one of the other builders I originally spoke to.

Suzanne and her team were stellar to work with! My tiny tap is so beautiful and constructed so well. Their communication is excellent and they kept me informed of progress each step of the way. Looking forward to working with them for future builds!

Hudson Trailer Company far exceeded our expectations! Being newbies, our build was done to perfection and exactly what our vision was. Suzanne was amazing to work with and provided us with not only a stunning coffee trailer, but all the tools and education we needed to succeed ( and continues to check in and celebrate our success with us) I Would recommend Hudson Trailer Company a million times over
