I tried to do the same in 2015 (blablacar for packages, startup name was tomandgo) and we couldn't solve that problem, it is genuinely hard.

I think in our case the main problem was incentives, we were suggesting low prices for the people sending packages but we forgot that the drivers need an incentive to drop it.

Best of luck!

really appreciate you sharing this. This insight is huge for me. Do you think it would have worked if you constrained to a single city first instead of going broad?

		Honestly, I don't know. We did it for all our country (Spain) and we found the same problem as you. Feel free to reach out if you have any question, email in my profile
