FAQ

Pricing questions

Is RoadTrades really free for tradespeople?

Yes — creating a profile, building your resume, browsing jobs, and applying are all free, forever. You never pay to get hired. The optional Paid Profile ($24.99/mo) adds money and tax tools, not access to work.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — the Paid Profile and the Crew Tools add-on both start with a 14-day free trial on monthly billing. Full access from day one; your card is saved at checkout but not charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then. Annual billing skips the trial and gives you two months free instead.

What do I get with the Paid Profile?

The tools that pay for themselves on the road — automatically. Free profiles log expenses, trips and work days by hand at no charge; Paid makes it effortless and gets it out at tax time: unlimited receipt scanning, automatic GPS mileage tracking from the RoadTrades app, automatic per-diem accrual against your tax home, the one-click year-end CPA pack and expense report, the pay-rate negotiator, and a +1 expense-report user so you and a travel partner can track together.

Can I hand my crew off to a new foreman?

Yes. In Crew Tools → Manage Crew, “Transfer crew leadership” sends a hand-over offer to one of your crew members — or any email address. Everything moves with the crew: job sites, time cards, the tool inventory, lodging, crew messages, and the shared-expense ledger. You stay on as a regular crew member, and your own subscription stays yours to keep or cancel. The new foreman needs a Paid Profile and their own Crew Tools subscription to accept, and every member’s personal expense and tax records stay exactly where they are.

Do recruiters reach out to me directly?

Recruiters can search the Black Book and invite you to a job — but you control your contact info. A recruiter can’t see your phone or email until you accept and choose to share it, so every connection happens on your terms. Keeping your profile and certs current makes you easier to find.

How do the per-diem and tax tools actually help?

Traveling work has tax rules most apps ignore. The tracker logs your per diem, tax home, and days by state so you can support a non-taxable per diem and hand your preparer a clean year-end pack — often worth far more than the subscription.
