Hire Smarter. Work Better.
RoadWage is our proprietary pay-and-demand intelligence for the traveling trades — the going rate by trade and state, per diem prevalence, and where the work is hot. Current data, not stale surveys.
Built for staffing firms and contractors — every figure from live market data, refreshed weekly.
Live median pay for each of our skilled trades in each state — the middle of the market, refreshed every week.
Helper through foreman as separate rates, so you price a journeyman package against journeyman pay, not a blended average.
How often per diem is offered for a trade in a market, and the typical amount — so your package matches what travelers expect.
Hiring demand by trade and state shows you where the pressure is — where you’ll compete for hands and where you won’t.
Which credentials the market is actually asking for in a trade and region — and the pay premium the data shows they carry.
Every number reflects current market pay, not a government survey that lags 12–18 months. Hyperlocal, real-time, and proprietary.
Post-and-pray tells you what a market pays only after you’ve committed to a bill rate. RoadWage tells you before — the going rate, the per diem travelers expect, and whether the bench runs deep enough to fill the role.
Price bill rates and traveler packages on live pay for the exact trade and metro, and win bids you’d have guessed on before.
Know what it takes to attract and keep skilled hands in a market before you mobilize a job — wage, per diem, and demand in one read.
Real-time, hyperlocal wage and demand data for the traveling industrial trades — a segment no incumbent dataset covers well.
RoadWage is RoadTrades’ proprietary pay-and-demand intelligence for the traveling skilled trades. It tracks real pay and hiring demand across the live market — the going rate by trade and state, grade-level pay, per diem prevalence, in-demand certifications, and where the work is hot — so recruiters and contractors can price offers on current data instead of guesswork.
Federal survey data (BLS and the like) is thorough but lags 12–18 months, is published at broad occupation codes, and never knows the per diem on the table or the grade of the role. RoadWage tracks live market pay, updated weekly, at the trade-and-state level a traveling package is actually priced on — and it separates journeyman pay from helper pay, which surveys don’t.
The traveling industrial and construction trades — welders, electricians, pipefitters, millwrights, ironworkers, and more — across U.S. states. Coverage deepens every week; where a trade-and-state market is too thin to report reliably, it’s suppressed rather than shown as a shaky number.
It comes with a RoadTrades recruiter account, alongside Market Intelligence reports, the Black Book candidate search, and the job board. Create a recruiter account to start pricing offers on live pay and demand — plans scale with your hiring.
Every figure reflects real, current market pay, computed as medians with small samples suppressed — so a single outlier can’t swing a market. Where data is thin we say so. It’s the going rate the market is actually paying this week, current and defensible, which is exactly what a bid needs.
Create a recruiter account and price your next offer on live data — it rides alongside Market Intelligence, the Black Book, and the job board.
