Quick Launch, Lower Costs
Modular Business Pods Solutions
At FLEXPOD, we empower entrepreneurs with modular units designed to allow for quick and cost-effective business launches. These are modular business pods that slide into or attach to rental trucks (or similar box trucks) so entrepreneurs can quickly transform them into specialized mobile businesses—like food trucks, ice cream trucks, AI game rooms, studios, golf cart and motorcycle wash, tattoo parlors, clothing stores or even mobile salons. We have several different modules ready and available for rent to make your dream a reality. These modules are set up to fit in on 15-foot rental trucks giving you enough space to run your business comfortably.

How Flexpod works?
1
You choose the Module
You choose the modular business “pods” that fit your business — fully equipped interiors that slide into standard U-Haul box trucks.
Each pod is purpose-built (e.g., Food, Ice Cream, Salon, or Tattoo).
Think of it like a plug-and-play insert — no permanent vehicle needed.
Example:
-
The “Food Pod” has sinks, counters, power hookups, and a serving window.
-
The “Salon Pod” has mirrors, chairs, lighting, and outlets.

Pick Up a U-Haul Truck
Rent a standard U-Haul box truck (15 ft) from your nearest location and we will take care of the rest for you.
You can also use your own truck, as long as it meets the necessary standards and measurements for our pods.
No need to buy a food truck — just rent what you need, when you need it. The pods will fit right in these trucks and the set up takes under an hour. Just scheduled your date and pick up time online and the truck will be ready for you.
