A digital record should help the office understand the work behind the bill. Explore the ticket workflow in SHIFT and define the records your operation needs.
What are digital truck tickets?
Digital truck tickets record the details of a hauling load electronically. Depending on the operation, the record may include a source ticket, material and quantity, truck reference, delivery information, and supporting notes. The important distinction is whether those details are connected to the correct job and available for review.
A photo is useful; context makes it usable
A ticket image can preserve the original document while still leaving the office to identify the job, truck, material, or unit. Connect the supporting document to a load reference and review its details before billing. A repeated ticket number may indicate a duplicate, but ticket numbers from different sources can also coincide; review the source and date as well.
Review exceptions before they become invoice questions
Check missing attachments, mismatched units, unclear product descriptions, changes to the delivery site, and multiple copies of the same source ticket. Set a person responsible for exceptions. Define how corrections are recorded and which version the office uses. Ask the SHIFT team to demonstrate the available ticket workflow against your own sample.
Digital hauling records and agency e-ticketing
The Federal Highway Administration describes e-ticketing as an electronic exchange of materials information that supports project documentation and review. A website demonstration does not establish acceptance on a public project. Check the specific contract, data fields, exchange method, and acceptance process with the project team.
Use your own job as the test

|---|---|

| Delivery | Destination, receiving reference, and available delivery documentation. |
| Office review | Supporting record, exception owner, and the approved billing handoff. |
Common buying questions
Digital truck tickets questions.
Does a digital ticket guarantee a correct invoice?
No. The ticket needs to be matched to the correct job, reviewed for exceptions, and checked against the agreed billing basis.
Does SHIFT automatically read ticket photos?
Do not assume automated extraction or AI validation from these previews. Confirm any such feature, its availability, and the required review process in the live demo.
How can we estimate the time opportunity?
Use the savings calculator with your own paper-handling time and the time the digital workflow still requires. Its result is capacity value, not guaranteed cash savings.
