What does the Plant Ticket represent in asphalt production and delivery?

• A. The date and time the mix was produced.
• B. The binder grade used in the mix.
• C. Each load of mixture delivered to the project.
• D. The planned air temperature for application.

Answer: (C)

The Plant Ticket is the record that travels with each load of asphalt from the plant to the jobsite. It documents the specifics of that particular batch—what mix design was used, the binder grade and content, the aggregate sizes and quantities, production and loading times, temperatures, and the truck or load identification. This per-load documentation provides a traceable, verifiable record for quality control and acceptance at the project, ensuring the exact mixture delivered matches what was specified in the contract.

So the Plant Ticket isn’t just about when the mix was made or what binder grade was used in isolation; it is the complete, load-by-load record that accompanies every delivery to the project.
