UPS company Roadie launched a local same-day delivery service for oversized items last week.
Through RoadieXL, items over 60 pounds are matched with drivers certified to have a large vehicle and dolly, according to the crowdsourced delivery platform’s website. No packaging is required.
“When I go to the big box stores and see all the people struggling in parking lots with televisions and couches, that’s a perfect aspect of where our driver base can come in and help make that process super seamless,” Roadie COO Dennis Moon said in an interview.
