Description

RoadTrades (roadtrades.com) is a job board and career-tools platform for traveling skilled-trades workers across 28 trades - electricians, welders, pipefitters, millwrights, HVAC techs and more - and the recruiters who hire them.

Tradespeople find traveling work with per diem stated up front, build searchable resumes and credential wallets, verify state licensing and reciprocity requirements, and track per diem, mileage and expenses on the road. Recruiters post construction and industrial jobs, search traveling talent by trade and certification, and get trade-specific labor-market intelligence.

The data side is RoadWage - Pay & Demand Intelligence: live going rates, per diem norms, and hiring demand tracked across 29 trades in all 50 states, built from job postings collected hourly from 65+ staffing and employer boards and checked against BLS, GSA, and federal wage data. Free tools include a state licensing and reciprocity guide verified at the state boards and a rate-split calculator that turns pay-plus-per-diem offers into one comparable number.

Built by a founder from the trades world, launched in 2026, based in Ohio.
