Having your commercial license is the legal requirement to get behind the wheel, but your license class alone does not tell the Road Ninja platform what specific work you are capable of doing.
To connect you with transport companies, our system relies entirely on the Driving Skills you select in your profile. If your skills are left incomplete, the platform cannot match you with available jobs.
This guide explains exactly how the system uses your driving skills and why configuring them is an important step.
Job Matching Logic
Road Ninja uses a matching system based on your selected vehicle types. Transport companies post jobs requiring specific equipment, and the system only notifies drivers who have explicitly stated they can operate that equipment.
How it works:
If a company posts a job for a Boat hauler, the system checks the "Rigid truck" category in our driver database. It will only send the job request to drivers who have the "Boat hauler" box checked.
Leaving a vehicle type unchecked means you are invisible to companies looking for that specific skill, regardless of what license you hold.
The app is built to let you charge different rates based on the specific equipment you operate. To set these rates, you must first select the vehicle type.
When you check a specific vehicle box in the app, the interface expands so you can configure your exact requirements for that machinery:
Your Skill Level: Ranging from Keen to Ninja.
Years of Experience: Selected via a dropdown menu.
Your hourly Rate
How to Configure Your Driving Types
Open the app and navigate to Profile.
Select Driving Skills.
Tap Edit.
Select a main category relevant to you (e.g., Speciality vehicle, Rigid truck, Combination truck).
Check the box next to every specific vehicle sub-type you confidently operate.
For each checked box, move the slider to set your level, select your Years of experience, and enter your required Hourly rate.
