Paperless dump truck ticketing for dirt crews
SpoilStack replaces the carbon-copy ticket book with a haul counter: one tap per load creates a timestamped digital record, attributed to the person who logged it and tied to the job.
Use it when paper tickets are the problem
- Carbon-copy books get wet, run out, or ride home in a pocket.
- The office retypes ticket totals into a spreadsheet every night.
- A trucker produces a tally that does not match the foreman count.
- The GC wants load backup with times, not a stack of smudged slips.
- You looked at e-ticketing platforms and they were built for DOT agencies, not a 5-person dirt crew.
A tap is the ticket
One tap on the haul counter logs the load with a timestamp and the user who recorded it. That is the whole workflow. No printer in the cab, no QR codes, no scale integration to set up. The record is digital from the moment the truck pulls away.
Tickets stay tied to the job
Every logged load sits with the job it belongs to, next to the address, photos, daily logs, and documents. When a hauling invoice is disputed, the backup is one place, in order, with times. Haul summaries drop straight into the closeout package.
Paperless that survives no signal
Excavation sites are the worst place for cloud software. SpoilStack is offline-first: the foreman keeps ticketing loads at the bottom of the hole with zero bars, and the records sync back when the truck route or the drive home finds signal.
Keep paper where paper still wins
Some drivers and scale houses still want a slip. SpoilStack publishes a free dump truck load ticket generator for printable tickets and pocket ticket books, so you can hand paper to whoever needs it while the running count stays digital.
Not a DOT e-ticketing platform, on purpose
State DOT e-ticketing programs are built around scale houses, plant integrations, and agency inspectors. If you need that, you need an agency platform. SpoilStack is the other 95% of hauling: a contractor counting loads off a site and needing proof that holds up when the invoice arrives.
Not built for
- DOT / agency e-ticketing mandates
- Scale house or plant integrations
- Trucking dispatch and driver pay
- GPS fleet tracking or ELD compliance
Frequently asked questions
What is dump truck e-ticketing?
E-ticketing replaces paper haul tickets with digital load records. Instead of a carbon-copy slip per load, each load is logged electronically with a timestamp, so counts can be verified without collecting and retyping paper. In SpoilStack, the foreman taps once per load and the digital ticket is created on the spot.
Do I need special hardware for paperless ticketing?
No. SpoilStack runs on the phones the crew already carries, on iPhone and Android, plus the web for the office. There are no in-cab printers, tablets to mount, or per-truck devices to buy.
Does paperless ticketing work with no cell signal?
Yes. SpoilStack is offline-first. Loads logged in a dead zone are stored on the phone and sync automatically when signal returns, so the pit, the rural site, and the basement dig all keep a full record.
What if a driver still needs a paper ticket?
Use the free dump truck load ticket generator to print tickets or a pocket ticket book for signatures, and keep the running count digital in SpoilStack. Paper for the handoff, digital for the record.
How is this different from DOT e-ticketing platforms?
Agency platforms like state DOT e-ticketing systems connect scale houses, material plants, and inspectors on public jobs. SpoilStack is for the contractor side of everyday hauling: counting loads off a site with proof. It does not integrate with scale houses and does not try to.
How much does paperless dump truck ticketing cost?
SpoilStack is $99 per month flat for the whole company with unlimited users, and there is no per-load or per-ticket fee. The 14-day free trial needs no credit card.
