Obviously it depends on the local laws where you live and the size of the trailer you are hauling. For a small 2 or 3 horse trailer being pulled by a regular truck (not a dually) most states do not require any special licensing or training, a regular driver licence is enough. Some states require special licences for bigger trailers that are pulled by dually's, etc.
In most states, auto dealers can also sell trailers. However, different locales have different rules. You should check with your local authority as well as business licensing facilities to see what you can and can't sell with your licensing.

1. Contact your local health department or county inspection department and set up an appointment to make sure that you start your business venture prepared and knowledgeable. During your appointment, they may ask you what business you plan on operating, where you plan on operating it in the area and what your concession trailer set up is. Make sure that you work with them accordingly to make this process go faster for you. It is also important to make sure that you understand all of the laws for the area, state and federal governing the operation of a concession trailer business. 2. Decide what it is that you want to sell at your concession trailer business. Do not try to make a business out of the ordinary hamburger and hot dog stand. Unless you have a special recipe or unique way of preparing this, you will more than likely be run out by others who are already doing this. Try to come up with something unique that is not out there. It is okay to think of an idea and put a twist on it. For example, the frozen banana or cotton candy served in a cone. 3. Provide your customers with good customer service. People are always in a hurry to get to the next attraction and can get distracted, however it is your business and you are the one that will get remembered. You are also the one that they will remember if you offer something special in your customer service skills. 4. You need to decide if this is a business that you want to operate on your own or do you want to hire others so that you are not strapped down to the trailer. Most concession trailer owners hire a few extra hands to help out so that they can visit the attractions themselves and can be rested when they are working. 5. Make sure that your concession trailer is properly set up for what you want to offer. Do you have adequate windows and doors? Do you have a sink set up for washing dishes and hands? Is there fresh water that runs into the trailer? Do you have a cooler or refrigerator to hold products in a safe manner? Do you have adequate cupboard space and counter areas to work on? 6. Decide on locations that you will set up your business. This often times included local fairs, outside events and amusement parks. However, there is the possibility to contact local big businesses to see if they will rent out space in their parking lot for you to set up business during time that there are not events or activities in the community going on. Most concession trailer businesses pay between $200 and $600 for monthly rent but get a fast payout when the month is over.
Some auto insurance policies extend liability to a utility trailer that is towed, but the coverage for the trailer itself may need a special endorsement added to the policy. The cost for this type of coverage is generally very reasonable, and it is recommended that you speak to your agent about covering it.
