WHY SHARE YOUR PAY
Contractors love information asymmetry. They know what they pay, you know what you got. The hand on the next job blind-bids against you. RoadHand flips that — every report makes the next road warrior's decision a little less of a gamble.
Reports are anonymous by default — your name is never shown. We'll tag the contractor and the location, the hourly rate and per diem, and how it compares to the BLS median for your trade in your state. That's it. Submit takes about 90 seconds at /pay/submit.
