Start with the dream
Brad wants to understand what the buyer is building, who they plan to serve, and how the trailer fits into the larger business—not just which color or length caught their eye.

The name behind BJP
Food Trailer Sales Grounded in Real Operating Plans
The BJP name honors Brad’s wife, Becki, and their daughter, Julianne. That family connection is more than a backstory—it is a reminder that every purchase represents people, risk, work, and a future someone is trying to build.
Brad founded BJP Trailers to help aspiring owners make that future more concrete. Some buyers are opening a first food business. Others are expanding an established restaurant, adding event capacity, launching a specialty service, or creating a new source of family income. The trailer is important, but the purpose behind it matters even more.
Brad’s operating principleListen to the business idea first. Then help the buyer choose a trailer that supports it.
More than 40 years of business ownership applied to the buyer’s next chapter.
Long before BJP Trailers, Brad understood the realities of owning a business in Springfield: decisions carry consequences, reputation is earned one customer at a time, and the best sale is one that still makes sense after the excitement wears off.
Turn it into a workable plan
Menu, equipment, crew flow, utilities, storage, towing, service windows, budget, pickup, and delivery all affect whether a trailer is a practical match.
Be direct about tradeoffs
Inventory status, price, specifications, local approvals, and transport details should be confirmed clearly. A good decision begins with accurate expectations.
Stay reachable
BJP is built around a direct line to the Springfield show lot. Buyers can call, ask questions, compare options, and speak with people who know the inventory.
Why Brad started BJP
Because a trailer can be the first visible step toward someone’s independence.
A concession trailer can become a first storefront, a second revenue stream, a way to serve events, or the beginning of a company that changes a family’s future. Brad started BJP Trailers to help buyers make that step with more confidence, better questions, and a clearer understanding of what they are purchasing.
Because requirements vary by location, BJP encourages every buyer to review the proposed trailer with the health, fire, zoning and licensing authorities where it will operate. The company helps buyers compare real inventory and organize a serious plan, while encouraging them to verify health, fire, zoning, licensing, and operating requirements with the authorities in the market where the trailer will work.

A trailer conversation grounded in the buyer's actual operation.
BJP Trailers is a Springfield show lot and nationwide seller—not a chain of city branches. The team's job is to help a buyer identify the correct current unit or organize a custom direction around verifiable requirements.
Current inventory
The catalog uses real photographs, stock references and published specifications. Buyers should call to confirm price, physical location, equipment and availability.
Custom planning
Menu, crew, equipment models, utilities, towing and destination become a written operating brief before a useful layout can be compared.
Straight answers
Local authorities control permits and inspections. Carriers control transport availability. Financing providers control their own terms. BJP does not replace those decisions with promises.
Keep decisions connected.
The menu or job defines equipment and load. Equipment defines floorplan, utilities, ventilation and storage. Those systems define weight, towing, site access, professional review and total cost. Changing one item can require several related updates.
Ask for current written facts. For inventory, verify identity, price, physical location, availability, equipment and condition before traveling. For a custom direction, put drawings, equipment models, systems, documents, commercial terms and approved changes into the signed file.
BJP can discuss a trailer and request transport pricing, but the authorities responsible for intended operating locations decide their requirements. Financing providers, insurers and carriers also control their own approval, pricing and terms.
Where is BJP Trailers located?
BJP's show lot is at 5133 S Campbell Ave in Springfield, Missouri. Nationwide city pages are market guides, not branch-location claims. Call before traveling to confirm the trailer you want to see is on site.
Can BJP deliver a trailer near me?
BJP can help request transport pricing to an exact receiving address. The specific trailer, dimensions, timing, route, carrier availability, insurance and site access affect the quote.
What information should control the final decision?
Use current signed sale documents or project specifications, verified trailer facts, local written requirements and professional advice appropriate to equipment, utilities, towing and the intended use.
