What is a RoadDog?

RoadDog is a term for somebody who makes their living in traveling construction. These are construction jobs that pay per diem. RoadDogs can be any trade from electricians, welders, pipefitters, millwrights, ironworkers, and many others.

RoadDogs can be found on industrial construction projects in all corners of the country. This means that regardless of where somebody lives, they are typically willing to travel many hours or even days to a jobsite. The RoadDog will find a place to stay during the duration of the job, then return home once the project is completed.

The life of a RoadDog is filled with long work hours and time away from home. The benefits are large pay checks and the ability to take extended periods of time off each year while between projects.

The life of a RoadDog is not for everybody, but it’s the only way of life for a small group of people.
