@brackin Was thinking this too. Although 'moving' doesn't always have to mean 'moving all my stuff' I suppose, the same way Uber begged the 'how many people use black cars regularly' question early on.
Hey all. Jordan from Lugg here. Happy to answer any questions!
Lugg instantly connects you to a truck and two movers. Whether your doing an ikea run, a craigslist purchase, or moving apartments you should never have to worry about needing a truck. Oh and stop bothering that one friend that does have a truck. ;)
Thanks for having us on here!

@jordanbrown Hey Jordan -- I sent this to my wife and below is her instinctual initial reaction. No need to answer here, but always find it helpful to understand 1st ux and I think the below is a snapshot into the mind of the 30yo newly married female. hope this helps. best, andy
"That's awesome! Any probs with stealing? Background check issues? You know, a la uber?"
@bootstrapnyc hey Andrew thanks for sharing! Yes we background and vet every mover/truck owner onto the system. It's definitely something we aren't taking lightly.
@bootstrapnyc@jordanbrown Hey Jordan! I've been working on software that helps automate a lot of the applicant screening process for on-demand companies (including the bg checks!). Would love to get in touch and see if we can help!
@jordanbrown Very cool idea. I worked on this concept for a few months and think it's a brilliant idea. I ultimately pulled out after talking to a few folks who had tried it but think there is a great opportunity here. Wishing you guys the best of luck!
Here was my original plan for the product. Learned a lot if you are ever interested in grabbing coffee. http://www.slideshare.net/Jamorr...
I like it conceptually but how often are people moving big stuff WITHOUT planning in advance? Maybe I'm just OCD about that stuff (I've moved 2 times in the last 2 years) and each time we planned like a week or two in advance. Would love to hear the thought process behind this.
@ajt I'm not affiliated with Lugg, but can weigh in on my experiences. When I moved, I sold most of my large items and bought new things on Craigslist and stores when I arrived. I would rent a zipcar everytime, which got tedious since its hard to estimate how long you'll need it (always ended up being at least 3 hours). Not to mention, you have to roundup friends to go with you if its really heavy. I would think the biggest use case is people without cars buying one-off items on craigslist or furniture stores (and don't want to pay the delivery fee).
