A hybrid system of sorts may work good, but would be capital intensive. Say a PODS like box is dropped off at your home or wherever. There could be two models of these PODS. One with a trailer hitch and the other without. The ones without would require scheduling a pickup and transport time. Either way there would be an option for storage where you could take the pod when you are done packing. The storage facilities would be spread out across the country. The storage facilities would be like existing storage facilities with 24hr secured access so you could get in/out anytime to access your pod. With your fee you would have access to move your pod from one location to another anytime you wanted.
For example, let's say I have a pod in Maryland, but am now moving to California. I could just go to the storage facility, hook up my pod to my trailer hitch, drive to California, and my monthly fee would give me access to any other location that had space.
I think what Mark is referring to in his tweet, and something my dad saw in his moving business, was people who just needed a couch or bed moved quickly or something taken to the dump for them. Pull up an Uber like interface on your phone and your request would go out to a variety of movers in your area who have time to earn a quick buck for hauling your stuff for you.
Just some ideas.
