About this app

Work the road? RoadTrades is built for you.

RoadTrades is the job board and money toolkit for traveling skilled-trades workers. Find road work that pays per diem, then track what the job actually puts in your pocket.

AUTOMATIC MILEAGE TRACKING
Turn it on once and forget it. RoadTrades detects your drives in the background and logs them for you. No buttons, no "start trip," no miles lost because you forgot. Each drive shows up with the date, the distance, and where it started and ended. Tap Business or Personal and you are done. Your business miles add up at the current IRS rate into a total you can hand straight to your tax preparer.

PER DIEM AND DAY TRACKING
Working away from your tax home? RoadTrades keeps your day count and looks up the government per diem ceiling for the city you are actually in, so you know what you can support.

EXPENSES, WITHOUT THE SHOEBOX
Photograph a receipt and RoadTrades reads the merchant, date and amount off it. Everything lands in one ledger you can export as a CSV or a clean PDF report for your CPA, organized by tax year.

FIND ROAD WORK
Browse traveling jobs across 28 skilled trades - electricians, pipefitters, welders, millwrights, boilermakers, ironworkers, linemen, plumbers, carpenters, riggers, insulators, machinists, industrial mechanics, plant operators, shipfitters and more. Filter by trade, state, pay and per diem. Apply with the resume you already built.

YOUR RESUME AND CREDENTIALS, IN YOUR POCKET
Build a trades resume once and send it in a tap. Photograph a certification card and RoadTrades reads the type, number and expiration into your credential wallet, then reminds you before anything expires. TWIC, OSHA, NCCER, state licenses and the rest, all in one place.

DOES YOUR LICENSE TRAVEL?
Look up what an electrical license requires in any state, what it costs, and where to file - so you know before you take the job, not after.

CREW TOOLS FOR FOREMEN
Running a crew on the road? Share a house and split the rent and utilities automatically. Track who owes who and settle up. Keep a shared tool inventory, run fillable time cards, and keep your job site paperwork in one place.

WHAT IT COSTS
The app is free. Browsing jobs, building your resume, your credential wallet and applying are free forever - you never pay to get hired. The money and tax tools are part of a paid profile, managed on our website.

ABOUT LOCATION
RoadTrades uses background location only to detect and record your drives for mileage tracking. You turn it on yourself, you can turn it off any time, and your location is never sold or shared with advertisers. If you never enable automatic tracking, the app never uses location in the background.
