Adding more cities expands your potential offers, but make sure they’re within a practical driving distance from your location.
Why Cities Matter
- Zone-Based Filtering: Roadie organizes offers by city/zone. You must have a city selected to receive offers from that area.
- Targeted Monitoring: Focus on areas where you know the roads, traffic patterns, and best routes.
- Flexibility: Add or remove cities anytime based on where you want to work.
Adding Cities
There are two ways to add cities to your list:Option 1: Add Manually
- Go to Settings → Cities
- Click Add City or the + button
- Search for the city/zone name
- Select the city from the dropdown
- Click Save to add it to your list
Option 2: Add from Offer
You can also add cities directly when you see an offer from a new area. This is a quick way to expand your coverage based on real opportunities.- When you see an offer from a city not in your list, you’ll see an option to add it
- Click Add City on the offer notification
- The city is automatically added to your Cities list
- Future offers from this city will be monitored
This method is great for discovering new profitable areas you might not have considered.

Best Practices
Start Small, Then Expand
Start Small, Then Expand
Begin with 2-3 cities near your home. As you learn which areas have the best offers, gradually add more.
Consider Traffic Patterns
Consider Traffic Patterns
Some cities may be close in miles but far in drive time due to traffic. Factor this in when selecting cities.
Match with Distance Settings
Match with Distance Settings
Your Cities and Max Distance settings work together. Make sure they’re aligned - no point adding a city 30 miles away if your max distance is 15 miles.
Seasonal Adjustments
Seasonal Adjustments
Some areas are busier during certain seasons (beach towns in summer, ski areas in winter). Adjust your cities accordingly.
