Tennessee 811’s Remote Ticket Entry Portal (RTE) is a free online program that we offer to anyone excavating who would like the convenience to enter and update their own locate requests. RTE is a web-based application and users are encouraged to use the Google Chrome browser. 

• RTE is fast, convenient and easy to use. New locate requests may be entered or existing tickets updated, at any time by users from their work, home or mobile office without delay.
• Users enter their own information onto the ticket request form and have access to the same maps that our Tennessee 811 Locate Request Agents use.
• RTE provides an alternative to calling Tennessee 811 and waiting on hold during busy calling periods.
• RTE users are provided a list of utility companies that will be notified, and their Tennessee 811 ticket number immediately after the locate request is submitted. 
• RTE users can print out a copy of the locate request for their records, or to send to the jobsite. 
• RTE users can access locate requests previously submitted, or called in, by themselves, or by other callers from their company.
