How to rent/hire an ice cream truck or cart in San Francisco?

Anyone know how to rent/hire an ice cream truck or cart in San Francisco? I am hunting around but not having much luck. Some of the great local names (Bi-Rite, Humphrey Slocombe, etc) apparently don't do things like this.

Thanks!

    - Twirl and Dip
    - Scream Sorbet
    - Skylite Snowballs
    - Cranky Boots Pops

      Scream Sorbet makes great stuff.

      Three Twins also caters. Seems like any ice cream place that does farmers markets would be equipped for it.
