The Tools That Pay for Themselves

Per diem can be a five-figure line on a traveler’s year. The Paid profile documents it — and everything else you spend to work — so more of it stays yours at tax time.

Full Per-Diem & Tax-Home Tracker

Your tax home and every assignment, with a day & state log for multi-state filing — the documentation that supports a non-taxable per diem.

Year-End Expense Report — One Click

Unlimited receipt scanning, a mileage tracker at the IRS rate, and a split-year summary your tax preparer can run with — W-2 and 1099 assignments each reported the right way.

Pay-Rate Negotiator

Real wage data behind your next ask — where the offer sits, the per-diem ceiling, and a grounded script. A +1 expense report user is included, so a travel partner tracks with you.

14-day free trial on monthly billing · $249/yr — 2 months free.

For Foremen

Run the Whole Crew from One Place

Crew Tools adds job sites, crew time cards with QR sign-in sheets, a ready-up credential check before you mobilize, shared expenses where one receipt lands in every member’s own tax records, lodging & rides, tool inventory, a safety hub and crew messages — $24.99/mo flat, and your whole crew rides free.

FAQ

Questions from the road

Who is RoadTrades for?

Traveling skilled tradespeople — welders, electricians, pipefitters, millwrights, and every craft that travels for work — plus the recruiters who staff them. If you chase per-diem jobs across state lines, it’s built for you.

Is it free to find work?

Yes, always. Build your profile and resume once, browse jobs, and apply in a tap at no cost. You never pay to get hired.

How do I get found — and who sees my info?

Recruiters search a searchable pool of traveling tradespeople by trade, location, and credentials, so a complete, current profile surfaces you in their results. They can invite you to a job, but your contact info stays private until you choose to share it — you’re always in control of who can reach you.

What trades do you cover?

All of them. RoadTrades is built only for the traveling trades, so there’s no generalist noise — just construction and industrial crafts and the recruiters hiring them.

How is this different from a regular job board?

It’s built only for traveling trades and goes past the listing: per-diem job filters, a self-updating resume recruiters can trust, and money and tax tools for life on the road. Less busywork, more time on the tools.
