The start-up revolutionising the transport industry, Road Ninja has set its sights on heading over the Tamsan.
Driver platform Road Ninja is streamlining the hiring and recruitment process for the transport industry by giving businesses access to a network of skilled and ready-to-work driving professionals.
It is breaking away from traditional recruitment models by introducing a subscription offering.
Launching in Australia in late January of 2025, Road Ninja will focus on the fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) mining industry, a key segment of Australia’s billion dollar mining economy, which is known for offering abundant job opportunities and competitive wages.
“In its first year in New Zealand, Road Ninja onboarded over 500 drivers and 100 companies, facilitating more than $1 million in transactions. The platform has quickly become New Zealand’s largest source for driver talent, offering businesses a one-stop shop to access skilled drivers on-demand while creating valuable job opportunities for those registered,” says Bodhi Vette, CEO and Founder of Road Ninja.
“The expansion into Australia is a key part of Road Ninja’s strategic growth plan.

“We’re excited to create new opportunities for Australian drivers and businesses to join the platform, address the growing demand for skilled professional drivers, and deliver significant value to both the transport and wider mining sectors.”
Road Ninja is set to expand nationally within Australia instead of a singular region approach.
Despite its expansion in Australia, the start-up is also planning to increase its range to also include bus drivers.
“Our subscription model marks a groundbreaking moment for the transport industry. We reimagined how companies could access driver resources by combining contract driver sourcing, job board advertising, and direct recruitment into one cost-effective, high-value platform. The result is a flexible solution that eliminates traditional recruiter fees and gives businesses complete control over their hiring needs,” adds Vette.
“With the success we’ve seen in New Zealand, we’re confident that Australia will be the next big chapter in Road Ninja’s journey.”
