The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is ushering in a new era of digital transformation in heavy construction with the launch of a statewide e-Ticketing initiative. Starting in 2026, all contractors will be required to use e-Ticketing under Section 110 of GDOT specifications.
As a first step, GDOT will implement a dual-ticketing pilot requiring both paper and electronic tickets for aggregate and concrete deliveries during the March-June 2025 lettings. With this move, Georgia joins DOTs across Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin, all of whom now require e-Ticketing on DOT projects.
TruckIT is one of the e-Ticketing technology providers approved by GDOT to ensure compliance for contractors, haulers, and material suppliers working on DOT projects.
“Manual ticketing creates bottlenecks, errors, and delays that cost real time and money,” said Andrew Lindsay, CEO of TruckIT. “GDOT’s pilot program is a strategic runway to help contractors fully acclimate ahead of the 2026 mandate. TruckIT is honored to be a trusted partner guiding Georgia’s construction industry through this digital evolution.”
What GDOT Requires
Per GDOT guidelines, all vehicles used for placement or delivery of weighted materials, including dump trucks, belly dumps, pavers, and material transfer vehicles must be equipped with GPS-enabled tracking systems. These systems must monitor load status, report locations at source and delivery sites, and provide full visibility from load-out to incorporation into the project.
Field inspectors will access ticket data via state-issued mobile devices, creating a fully digital, real-time inspection and verification process.
TruckIT’s patented AirTicket platform eliminates the need for paper tickets, replacing them with a digital bill of lading instantly accessible by all stakeholders. The result is a transparent, end-to-end material chain of custody that supports same-day billing, faster reconciliation, and reduced disputes or fraud. For hybrid workflows, TruckIT’s Automatic-PIC (ATP) uses advanced AI and computer vision to digitize any printed or handwritten ticket. ATP automatically extracts and populates ticket data, including weights, timestamps, and signatures into a digital format for real-time processing and audit-ready recordkeeping.
DRAGADOS-Pulice JV selected TruckIT to digitize the E-Ticketing process for the I-2/I-69C Interchange DOT Project in the South Texas Rio Grande Valley.
“We were spending an enormous amount of manpower every week on paper ticket management with manual ticket entry, just trying to track and reconcile piles of paper tickets,” said Rafael Hurtado, Equipment Director, Pulice Construction. “TruckIT eliminated the burden of paper tickets, streamlined our operations to expedite the pacing of our asphalt and concrete deliveries, and ensured that this reconstruction project—one that is enormously important for Rio Grande Valley citizens—maximizes every possible efficiency to help us stay on schedule.”
"We saw an opportunity to get rid of paper," Hurtado said. "We weren't wasting time handing out paper and more importantly it kept tickets in the apps, which helped with reporting and efficiency, along with cutting costs and improving logistics.”
For decades, N.W. White & Company has managed its dump truck operations using manual processes and legacy systems. In 2021, the company invested in TruckIT’s automated dispatch and E-Ticketing technologies, redefining their approach to dispatching, ticketing, and fleet management.
"Drivers no longer have to call in for directions or updates. Everything is in the app, and they can focus on driving instead of worrying about paperwork, missing turns, or looking for sites," said Graham Reinhart, Project Manager at N.W. White & Co. "The app guides them, and we’ve seen fewer errors and faster turnaround times because they aren’t sitting idle filling out paperwork.”
