I'm assuming this applies to 'Dudettes' too? :)
Sonya
@bentossell Absolutely! I am Dudette #1 :)
Dude
@bentossell We welcome all Dudette's who own trucks to sign up!
Simon Bromberg
How much does it actually cost? Say for a typical move. FAQs doesn't really answer its own question.
Sonya
@shimmb If you plug in your pickup & dropoff location, it will tell you the price in the app.
Simon Bromberg
@mowie Yea but how much does it cost? Ballpark.
Dude
@shimmb @mowie - Simon- Your typical dude pick up starts around 50$ and the scales up based on how far your stuff is going. The average dude pick up is anywhere from 60-70$
Jared Reitzin
@shimmb we solved what I think is a big issue that people have when it comes to moving stuff and that is to provide clear upfront pricing before you book. Pricing is variable based upon a number of factors, but as Jacob pointed out its around $50+ per move (on the low end).
Michael Lefkowitz
Buddytruk has been in this space for quite some time - any difference with this service?
Sonya
@leftynaut Our app is end-to-end, no human dispatch necessary!
Dude
@mowie @leftynaut Pricing is transparent- Before you order a dude you will know the price from pick up to drop off within a 2hr window.
Jared Reitzin
@leftynaut let's face it, in a new and exciting space with a lot of potential, there will always be competition. Enough money & time, most companies can build something competitive. Sure there are some things we believe DUDE does that gives us an edge, for instance you can go from sign up to booking in the shortest period of time, we provide an upfront price for the move & guarantee it, + we have integrated mobileStorm's messaging technology to enable a solid consumer exeperiance that really manages timing expectations. Our dudes are someone you might want to have a beer with. They are very sensitive to first impressions and the customer need. We have some exciting things on the horizon that will enable us to quickly scale nationwide, while automating moving as much as possible; game changing stuff that we feel could put us ahead of respectable competition. But I always say, competition gets me out of bed in the morning, but it doesn't keep me up at night.

lol, this is a great idea for all the times you need to move something but have a small car
Sonya
@rotemthegolfer Thanks! This happened to me before we launched the app. I had to rent a truck by myself! #yuck
Jared Reitzin
@rotemthegolfer can't tell you how many times I've had to visit a u-haul or ask a friend to borrow their truck. We built a company that solves problems for ourselves.
Marion I. Muszynski
Kudos for the best service name I haven't seen in a while :joy:
Sonya
@miszynski Wheeee! We love the name too :D
Dude
@miszynski Thanks Marion.. It definitly always puts a smile on someones face. Which is one of the reasons why DUDE exists. :)
Evan Kimbrell
I've been wishing this existed for years. Brb canceling my zipcar account... Finally
Jared Reitzin

Sonya
@sunnyua2u Thanks Sunny!

Dude, our team is so stoked about being featured on Product Hunt! What a blessing in disguise! #Rockon #dude
Jared Reitzin
@mowie I know I had people blowing me up this morning and didn't know what they were talking about when they mentioned they found us on product hunt. i'm a big fan of the site and check it every day so I knew we had a profile but didn't know we were trending on the front page. Thank you PH team!
Edgar Rodriguez
This is dope. Takes the headache away from moving! I use GoShare.. Wonder how this is different.
Sonya
@erod86 Of course! The dude will help you load and unload too :)
Dude
@mowie @erod86 upfront pricing and lightning fast ability to order a dude with the tap of just a few of buttons.
Dude
So I was in the ER last night with my youngest daughter who broke her collarbone and had just two weeks before broke her shoulder. (I guess we are raising an extreme sports baby :) It was a rough day to say the least. So waking up to seeing DUDE being feautred in product hunt with everyone's comments and feedback was such a lift! Thank you everyone for the shout outs and love!
Corey Abramowitz
Dude I've been asking for uber for truck lifts. You're finally here! Welcome to the world. :)
Dude
@mrabramowitz Thanks! Happy to be in the world :) Cheers!
Jared Reitzin
@mrabramowitz dude I always say "at a cocktail party if somebody asked me what I did I would tell them it's Uber but for moving people's stuff" every age group can relate to the statement and easily understand what we do.
Jack Finn
Dude Where's My Truck?
Paul Gill
Great idea. In fact, i thought of it quite a while ago ;) @jaredreitzin, does said Dude help with the lifting?
Jared Reitzin
@pkgill thanks Paul! It's definitely one of those easy ideas to come up with because it solves such a common pain that all of us experience on a pretty consistent basis. Apply share economy technology and you've got yourself a business. Dude does help with the lifting,we are white glove service in that we ensure with each transaction the item gets picked up and placed in the right spot.
Adrian Rubin
This is such a great idea, not so much now but when I was younger this would have been a great application!

I stopped liking the look of my SUV and I also recently decided to update the look of my car. I found an online SUV parts store online https://bumperstock.com/products.... I bought a bumper, it was delivered to me for free and quickly. I installed it and it looks really cool and immediately changes the look of the car. I love the large assortment presented on their website.
