Hire Smarter. Work Better.
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.
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and big builds — then get buried in multi-state taxes, per diem rules, expiring certs, and a resume that’s always out of date.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.
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.
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.
Skilled work is real work. We build for it, not around it.
Per diem, on-the-road work — no generalist noise. Everyone here is in your world.
We connect workers and recruiters. We’re not your employer and not your payroll — recruiters keep their business.
A worker’s contact details aren’t shared until they choose to send them. No surprises.
No public pile-on ratings. The side that pays to hire gets a fair shake, every time.
Transparent pricing, no spam, and no fake urgency. Ever.
Workers find jobs and build a resume and credential packet. Recruiters post openings and search the Black Book of verified travelers.
The worker sends their resume, or the recruiter invites them — and the two sides connect directly.
Onboarding and payroll happen in the recruiter’s own systems. The worker’s tools keep running for the next job.
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.
Whether you’re chasing the next per diem job or staffing one, RoadTrades was built for you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
