About RoadTrades

Built for the Road.

RoadTrades is home base for traveling tradespeople — and the recruiters who hire them. A modern job board covering 28 traveling trades, plus the tools to run a working life on the road.

Why We Exist

Traveling Work Is Hard Enough Without the Busywork.

Skilled travelers chase work across the country — turnarounds, shutdowns, and big builds — then get buried in multi-state taxes, per diem rules, expiring certs, and a resume that’s always out of date. Recruiters burn hours hunting for crews they can actually verify. The tools out there were either built two decades ago or do nothing but list jobs. We thought the people who keep the country running deserved better.

What We Do

Find What You Need. Then Go Beyond It.

For Tradespeople

Find the work — then keep the rest handled. A resume that updates itself, a credential wallet that warns you before a card lapses, per diem and tax-home tracking, and easy expense capture. The job board is the front door; the tools are why you stay.

For Recruiters

Find and verify travelers fast — searchable talent, AI matching, and one-tap credential packets — plus national market intelligence on pay, per diem, and demand by trade and region that no one else in this space offers.

What We Stand For

What We Stand For

The trade comes first

Skilled work is real work. We build for it, not around it.

Built only for travelers

Per diem, on-the-road work — no generalist noise. Everyone here is in your world.

We stay in our lane

We connect workers and recruiters. We’re not your employer and not your payroll — recruiters keep their business.

Your data is yours

A worker’s contact details aren’t shared until they choose to send them. No surprises.

We protect the people who hire

No public pile-on ratings. The side that pays to hire gets a fair shake, every time.

Straight talk

Transparent pricing, no spam, and no fake urgency. Ever.

How It Works

Find. Connect. Hire.

1

Find

Workers find jobs and build a resume and credential packet. Recruiters post openings and search the Black Book of verified travelers.

2

Connect

The worker sends their resume, or the recruiter invites them — and the two sides connect directly.

3

Hire

Onboarding and payroll happen in the recruiter’s own systems. The worker’s tools keep running for the next job.

Where We’re Headed

Building the Operating System for Traveling Trades.

A job board is just the start. We’re building the full toolkit for life on the road — smarter resumes, credential and compliance tools, and market intelligence that makes every job and every offer a better one. This is day one.

Find Your Next Job — or Your Next Crew.

Whether you’re chasing the next per diem job or staffing one, RoadTrades was built for you.

Plain answers

What we are — and what we’re not

We are

  • A job board where employers and recruiters with accounts post their own openings — pay, per diem, hours and schedule up front.
  • A pay-data tool. RoadWage measures what the traveling market is advertising — going rates, per diem, demand — published as statistics with the methodology attached.
  • A toolkit for the road: trade resume, expense and mileage tracking, crew tools, licensing and reciprocity guides.
  • A registered company: Road Trades, LLC (Ohio, USA), with Stripe billing, a published Android app on Google Play, and a real contact page.

We are not

  • An aggregator. We never copy listings from other websites onto our board — every job here was posted here, by its recruiter.
  • A data broker. We never sell your information. Applying to a job sends your resume to that recruiter and nobody else. The privacy policy says so plainly.
  • An AI content farm. AI on this site is a tool you point at your own work — polishing a resume, scanning a receipt — never a machine inventing job listings.
  • A lead-gen trap. No reselling applications, no bait listings, no phantom jobs kept open to harvest resumes.
Is RoadTrades a real company?

Yes. RoadTrades is operated by Road Trades, LLC, a registered Ohio company. Payments run through Stripe, the Android app is published on Google Play under the RoadTrades name, and you can reach a real person through the contact page.

Are the jobs on RoadTrades scraped from other sites?

No. The jobs on our board are posted here directly by the employers and recruiters who hold accounts - we never copy listings from other websites onto the board. Our pay data (RoadWage) is a separate thing: it reads what employers publicly advertise across the market to compute going rates and per-diem statistics, the way any market index works. We publish the statistics with their methodology - we do not republish anyone’s job listings as our own.

What happens to my information when I apply?

Applying sends your RoadTrades resume to the recruiter who posted that job - and nothing else, to nobody else. We never sell your data, and the privacy policy says so in plain words.

Is RoadTrades an AI site?

RoadTrades is a job board and toolkit built by people who know the traveling trades. We use AI the way a good shop uses power tools - to polish a resume you wrote, scan a receipt, or read a certification card - never to invent job listings. Every posting on the board traces to a registered recruiter account.
