What this template is
A job ticket, also called a work order, is the page the crew lead takes to the job. It says where to go, what work to do, what not to touch, the hazards to watch and the gear to bring. At the end of the day it records the time on site and what was finished.
It sits between the signed estimate and the invoice. The estimate tells the customer what they are paying for. The ticket tells the crew exactly what to do, so nobody has to call the office from the driveway.

How to use it
- The day before, fill in the ticket from the signed estimate. Copy the work in plain words, one task per line.
- Write what the crew must not touch. A kept tree, a septic field or a soft lawn is where expensive mistakes happen.
- Print it for the truck, or press "Print or save as PDF" and send the PDF to the crew lead's phone.
- At the truck, the crew lead reads the ticket out loud during the tailgate safety meeting.
- Before leaving, the crew lead ticks the finish list, writes start and finish times and any notes. Download the CSV to file it by ticket number.
How the download works
Download CSV makes a spreadsheet file with three columns (section, field, value), one row per field. Tick boxes show as Yes or No. It opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. Download TXT makes a plain text copy you can paste into an email or a text. Both files are made inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is sent to us.
Questions people ask
What is a job ticket in tree service?
It is a one-page work order for the crew. It lists the address, the work, what not to touch, the hazards, the gear and a short finish checklist. The crew lead keeps it on the job.
Is a job ticket the same as an invoice?
No. The signed estimate sets the price, the job ticket guides the work, and the invoice asks for payment. Keeping them apart stops crews from talking prices on site.
Should the customer sign the job ticket?
Some companies ask the customer to sign when the work is done, to show they walked the site. It is optional and it is not a contract. Short explanation, not legal advice.
How do I get the ticket to the crew lead's phone?
Press "Print or save as PDF", pick "Save as PDF", then text or email the file. Or print it and leave it on the dash of the truck.
Why write down the time on site?
Start and finish times show how long the job really took. Compare them with the crew-hours on your estimate, and you will price the next similar job closer to the truth.
What if the customer asks for extra work on the day?
Write it in the notes and send a written price for it before the crew does it. That keeps the bill clear and avoids an argument at payment time.
Where is the ticket saved?
In your browser on this device only. Nothing is sent to us. Download the CSV or save a PDF before you clear the form for the next job.
Can I ask for a review from the job ticket?
The ticket reminds the crew to ask. Use our Google review link generator to make your direct review link and a short text the crew lead can send before leaving.
