One useful thing, without turning this into a lecture: A working truck earns its keep when small problems are caught before they interrupt the schedule.

- Look under the truck for fresh leaks
- Listen for a change during the first mile

That is enough to make the next round easier.

This is a good habit! A quick look underneath and listening for anything unusual can catch small problems before they become a bigger headache.
