Smart Walkaround Tips for Field Teams

1. Make it the first thing, not a thing you do “if there’s time.”
Treat it like brushing your teeth—non-negotiable. Do it at the same time every day (first thing after you clock in, before driving, before engine start, etc.).

2. Assign it—don’t assume it.
If everyone is responsible, no one is. Each truck, trailer, or machine should have a clearly assigned person for the walkaround.

3. Use a simple checklist
Don’t rely on memory. Use a checklist or digital tool (like your PodioBook walkaround form!) with 5–10 key items.
Start with:

  • Oil & fuel levels

  • Leaks or drips

  • Lights/signals

  • Tire/track condition

  • Tools and supplies loaded

  • Ladders and load secured

  • First-aid, fire extinguisher, and safety gear present

4. Make it visual, not passive.
Actually walk around it. Bend down. Pop the hood. Pull the dipstick. Don’t just glance—inspect.

5. Use your hands and nose.
Loose fittings, weird smells, frayed cords—your senses will pick up what your eyes miss.

6. Document issues immediately.
If something’s wrong, don’t just “tell someone later.” Use a repair form or flag it with ribbon and report it right away.

7. Celebrate the habit.
Give shoutouts to team members who consistently do it right. Make it part of culture, not just compliance.

8. Add a picture if needed.
A photo tells the story faster—especially when sending to the shop or manager.

9. Look for patterns.
If the same issue pops up regularly (low tire, loose ladder, empty first-aid kit), it’s time to address the root cause.

10. Be the pro who prevents the “oh no.”
Walkarounds aren’t just about machines—they’re about momentum. Catching something early means no delays, no rework, and no reputation damage.
