If you’ve been on Road Ninja for a while, you already know it’s fast becoming the go-to place for trucking jobs in New Zealand. Companies are actively searching for and booking drivers every day, but here’s something most drivers don’t realise:
🔍 Companies actively browse driver profiles before they even post a job! 🔍
That means your profile isn't just sitting there gathering digital dust. It's being actively reviewed by companies with urgent driver needs.
Transport companies have told us that they want to know more about a driver’s actual experience before reaching out. A license tells them what you can drive—but your job history tells them where you’ve worked, what kind of driving you’ve done, and how experienced you really are.
What's new? A digital CV for driving pros.
We've launched the new work experience feature – to help you build a dynamic digital CV right on your Road Ninja profile and put your skills and accomplishments front and center.
Companies can now see:
✔ Where you’ve worked
✔ What type of driving you’ve done
✔ How much experience you have in different roles
How this helps you get more jobs
✅ Your work history is now a headline, not a footnote.
✅ Companies instantly see if your experience aligns, leading to relevant job offers.
✅ when companies already know your experience, they can reach out with jobs that make sense for you.
📌 Example:
Imagine a company needs a Refrigerated Freight Driver. Before, all they saw was your Class 4 license. Now, they see "Refrigerated Freight Driver at Kiwi Freight Solutions for 2 Years." Instant match! You've just leapfrogged the competition.
Update your work experience in minutes
Adding your experience takes less than a minute:
1️⃣ Go to your profile and open Job Experience.
2️⃣ Tap the ‘+’ button to add a new job.
3️⃣ Enter your job details—company name, job title, job description, and dates worked.
4️⃣ Hit ‘Save’—and you’re done!
Why this matters for you
The way companies hire is changing. They don’t just want to see what you’re licensed to drive, they want to know what you’ve actually done.
Think of your Road Ninja profile like your first impression, a complete profile translates to more job opportunities. A profile showing the relevant experience translates to better job opportunities.
A company looking for a tanker driver is far more likely to pick someone who has tanker experience clearly listed on their profile than someone with no work history shown at all.
📌 Don’t miss out on opportunities and leave money on the table. Make sure your experience is visible 🥰
