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:

Hiring companies on the Road Ninja platform are actively browse driver profiles before they accept a driver for 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.

Hiring companies have told us that they want to know more about a driver’s actual experience before sending out a job request. A license tells them what you can drive—but your work history tells them where you’ve worked, what kind of driving you’ve done, and how experienced you really are.

We've launched the new work history feature – to help you build a dynamic digital CV right on your Road Ninja profile to put your skills and accomplishments front and centre.

Hiring companies can now see:

✔ Where you’ve worked

✔ What type of driving you’ve done

✔ How much experience you have in different roles

✅ Your work history is now a headline, not a footnote.

✅ Hiring companies instantly see if your experience aligns, leading to relevant job requests.

✅ When hiring companies see your work history, they can reach out with jobs that make sense for you.

📌 Example:

Imagine a hiring 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.

Adding your work history takes 2 minutes:

1️⃣ Go to your driver profile and tap 'Job Experience.'

2️⃣ Tap the ‘+’ button to add a new work history record.

3️⃣ Enter your job details: company name, job title, job description, and dates worked.

4️⃣ Hit ‘Save’: and you’re done!

The way hiring companies hire drivers 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 requests.

A hiring 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 🥰
