Who this list is for

This checklist is built for two-person lawn care crews loading their truck for residential maintenance jobs. It’s for teams handling mowing, trimming, edging, and cleanup—not chemical treatments or landscaping installs. If you’re responsible for getting all the standard gear on the truck before leaving the shop, this is your list.

How to use this list

Begin by reviewing the daily route sheet and customer gate access notes so you’re clear on where you’re headed and how to get in. Load major equipment first: riding mower, walk-behind mower, string trimmer, leaf blower, and edger. Make sure you have spare trimmer line and mower blades on board. Check that your fuel cans are filled, and bring both two-stroke fuel mix and engine oil. Don’t forget the battery charger and extension cord for any electric tools. Use the checklist to confirm each item is on the truck before you roll out.

Crews often forget to pack spare trimmer line or extra mower blades, leading to downtime on the job. Leaving behind the battery charger or extension cord can render battery-powered tools useless. Skipping a check of gate access notes can mean delays or locked-out jobs. Don’t assume fuel cans are full—always double-check.

What is on this list

Expect to see the daily route sheet, customer gate access notes, riding and walk-behind mowers, string trimmer, leaf blower, and edger. Supplies include spare trimmer line, mower blades, fuel cans, two-stroke mix, engine oil, battery charger, and extension cord. Cross off items you’ve already loaded so nothing gets left behind.

Before you go

Do a final walk-around of the truck to confirm all equipment and supplies are secured. Review the route and gate access notes with your partner. Check that all fuel containers are sealed and tools are stowed safely. This last step helps avoid forgotten gear or wasted trips back to the shop.
