> A single marketplace providing an API for moving goods from point A to point B priced by weight, special requirements (refrigerated transport, etc), timeliness and the current state of the market (dynamic pricing) could work. This is interesting but the debate between private/public services is political gridlock. Just like there's no single payer healthcare in the US because of insurance companies, this idea would be basically a nationalization of Amazon, Fedex, and UPS. I'm not sure how you'd pull that off. I've thought about over-collateralized logistics smart contracts for something like this: post a request for transport with parcel details like size and speed desired then collect deposits from both shipper and carrier. I'm not sure people would want to deal with large deposit values to cover the potential for irresponsible carriers though.
