Running a truckstop or travel plaza comes with what seems like an endless list of tasks to accomplish. The days can be hectic, and it can be easy to get distracted, which is why a thorough checklist can help operators and managers stay focused and manage their various duties. 

The checklist compiles crucial tasks and items to complete in one place, with more than 110 items to review. It covers key areas within a truckstop or travel center, including items on:

  • Fuel Quality, Storage Tanks and Inventory Management
  • Emergency and Spill Response
  • Oil Water Separator
  • Security
  • Parking Lot 
  • Bulk DEF
  • Diesel Fuel Islands
  • Building Exterior
  • Building Interior

With the checklist, managers or owners can quickly scroll through and know they’ve covered everything from checking that under-pump containment boxes free of excessive product and/or water to making sure store merchandise is priced, clean, faced/fronted and well stocked.
