Before you leave
- Check VendHunt for machines within your radius
- Build a route (4–8 stops beats 15 chaotic pins)
- Note store hours for the corridor you are driving
- Confirm important stops before making a long drive
- Bring a card sleeve / binder if you open on the road (optional)
At each machine
- Confirm the machine is powered and selling the product you want
- Check off the stop in VendHunt so you do not loop back
- Be decent in the aisle — families shop here too
- If empty, move on; do not camp the machine for hours
After the run
- Log hauls with prices while you still remember what you paid
- Star machines worth returning to on the next drop
- Share a haul card if you want — keep addresses considerate
