Skip the Stop – A Landscaper’s Dream…
In the early morn, as lawn crews start their day,
Gotta get fuel, time ticks away.
In a cramped parking lot, where space is thin,
Crews inside for snacks, a daily sin.
Customers are waiting and needing a mow,
But your crew leader has to go.
Toilets, gas, coffee or Red Bull they must get,
Now waiting for Jose who’s taking a shit.
Yet imagine a scene where this delay is gone,
With a Super Lawn Truck, work starts at dawn.
Onboard fuel stations are ready, no need to stop.
Refuel once a week, profits will pop!
No more lugging cans, or fuel spills on green,
With easy-use pumps, the best ever seen.
An extra month’s income now within reach,
With this gas station on wheels, a lesson to teach.
Boost your crew’s billing by mowing more grass,
With profits soaring, you’re enjoying more cash!
Efficiency’s the key, productivity’s peak,
More mowing, less pausing, every hour, every week.
Adopt this new ally, let it streamline your day,
Transform how you work, innovate the Super Lawn way.
For a lawn business owner, with clients to serve,
Get your crew on site early and collect the profits you deserve.

Author’s note about those fuel stops:
Fuel stops are an expensive part of providing lawn and landscape services. Yes, we know the fuel costs a lot. But never forget about the labor costs to fuel equipment and gas cans. Your cost is much more than you think. The lost opportunity to have crews working on a job site and creating revenue is staggering. Here’s the math to carefully consider.
Three Person Crew – Daily Stops
If you send a three person crew to go get gas 5 days per week and the fuel stop takes just ten minutes a day, you are missing 2.5 hours of billable work per week. If your season is 40 weeks long, you are missing out on 100 hours of billable work. If your billing rate is $70 per man hour, the fuel stops cost you $7000 per year. Ouch…
Three Person Crew – 3x per week stops
If you send a three person crew to go get gas just three days per week and the fuel stop takes just ten minutes a day, you are missing 1.5 hours of sellable work. If your season is 40 weeks long, you are missing out on 60 hours of billable work. If your billing rate is $70 per man hour, the fuel stops cost you $4200 per year. Still very painful…
Two Person Crew – Daily Stops
If you send a two person crew to go get gas 5 days per week and the fuel stop takes just ten minutes a day, you are missing 1.7 hours of billable work. If your season is 40 weeks long, you are missing out on 68 hours of billable work per year. If your billing rate is $70 per man hour, the fuel stops cost you $4760 per year. Imagine standing at a gas pump for 68 hours! Well…at least you can watch Tik Tok while you wait!
Two Person Crew – 3x per week stops
If you send a two person crew to go get gas 3 days per week and the fuel stop takes just ten minutes a day, you are missing 1 hour of billable work. If your season is 40 weeks long, you are missing out on 40 hours of billable work per year. If your billing rate is $70 per man hour, the fuel stops cost you $2800 per year.
An onboard fuel station from Super Lawn Trucks can reduce fuel stops to just once per week.You will have the ability to carry enough fuel to keep your crew on the job site more and at the fuel station less. This innovative tool saves time and it will last as long or longer than the truck you buy. It pays for itself in a year or less.
