I met Sasan and Heidar at the hackathon where they first built TruckPlease. Neat concept that definitely solves a problem, and they're smart/friendly guys! Super curious what their plans are to monetize (it looks like TP is currently completely free)?

Hey, Matt! Great seeing you on here and thanks for the kind words :) Right now we're completely free but we have a lot of ideas for monetization. One of them being handling payments and taking a cut and another would be to sell optional related services, like moving/rental insurance, cleaning services, and moving supplies.

  Insurance on the moving is pretty interesting, though I'd worry about fraud eventually being an issue.

    Yeah that's definitely a great point. To start, we'd probably just sell through a 3rd party insurer and let their underwriters deal with that!
