Your tired from a busy day of work and you pull in your driveway. You think this won't take long to do and you go about getting your truck ready for that late night emergency call or tomorrows appointments.

So you dump your waste tank and fill up your water and go home. There I'm done because I know I got lots of pre-spray on board.

or

do you do it properly?

Dump waste tank
Clean filter

Fill water tank
Add clean wiping rags and remove the dirty ones
Check block and tab stock

Clean out vacuum cleaner
Clean out junk out of front of truck
Wash truck if dirty
Check truckmount oil level

I bet I missed a bunch so what's on your daily list?

How about what's on your weekly list?

Lube blower and other zerks
Check belts
Rinse waste tank
Check all spotting stock
Wash floor of truck including in cab

The filling up at the end of the day is one thing I try not to do... Why put all that weight on your van overnight? I know all 3 of you guys have box trucks but for a van I really don't like the idea.
