Question 1

What is RoadHand?

Accepted Answer

RoadHand is a mobile and web app built for traveling trades workers. It combines contractor reviews, real pay data, OSHA safety scores, and worker-reviewed housing — so welders, linemen, pipefitters, and other tradespeople can evaluate jobs and job sites before committing.

Question 2

Where does RoadHand's pay data come from?

Accepted Answer

RoadHand combines government data (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage determinations, and GSA per diem rates) with anonymous pay reports submitted by workers on actual projects. Users can compare real take-home against market and prevailing-wage benchmarks.

Question 3

How do OSHA safety scores work?

Safety scores are auto-generated from OSHA enforcement inspection data, covering 50,000+ federal inspections. Each contractor gets a rolling safety record including serious violations, repeat offenses, and enforcement history.

Question 4

Is RoadHand free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Viewing contractor reviews, pay data, housing listings, and government wage benchmarks is free for workers. Property hosts pay a flat $199/year to list housing — no booking fees, no commission.

Question 5

Who is RoadHand for?

Accepted Answer

Traveling trades workers in industrial construction — welders, linemen, pipefitters, ironworkers, electricians, crane operators, millwrights, boilermakers, heavy equipment operators, and industrial mechanics. Also property owners near job sites who want to list housing to verified tradespeople.
