Who this list is for
This checklist is made for solo laundry service drivers running daily pickup and delivery routes for residential or small business clients. It’s focused on making sure you have the right logistics and customer info on hand, not on how to wash or fold clothes. If you’re responsible for collecting, tracking, and returning laundry orders, this is your starting point.
How to use this list
Start your day by reviewing the daily route sheet, which should include all customer addresses and scheduled pickup and delivery time windows. Double-check that you have each customer’s phone number and any order notes, like special garment care instructions. Before leaving the shop, load up laundry bags and reusable delivery bags, making sure order tags are attached and a waterproof marker is in your pocket. Confirm your barcode scanner and charger are working, and bring your mobile payment terminal. As you work your route, use the list to verify each step and cross off items as you complete them.
Common mistakes
Drivers sometimes forget to bring extra order tags or a working barcode scanner, which slows down pickups. Skipping a review of customer care notes can lead to mix-ups, especially with delicate garments. Don’t overlook the scanner charger—running out of battery mid-route means manual tracking, which is risky. Avoid relying on memory for addresses or time windows; always check the route sheet.
