You’re all settled into your new dorm room or back from a long weekend at home only to realize you left something important back at home. Problem is, you’ve got class the next day and can’t swing the three hour commute each way. What do you do?
The solution is Roadie, the peer-to-peer shipping app that is like Uber, but for stuff, not people. Same day shipping is usually cheaper than traditional options with Roadie and you don’t have to worry about anything getting lost in the mail.
How it works
First, create a “Gig,” Roadie’s term for a shipment or delivery. When you have something you need to send, just create a Gig in the Roadie app, select the time and date you’ll need it by, then get matched with a Roadie Driver who’s headed in the right direction.
After the Driver accepts your Gig, track your cargo with near real-time tracking in the Roadie app. You’ll know where your stuff is, and you can connect with your Driver anytime along the way.
It’s like carpooling for cargo. Simple, safe and fun!
Plus, if you want to make a little extra cash on your trek back home, consider becoming a Roadie Driver yourself! As a registered Roadie, picking up a “Gig” and helping friends and nearby college students can provide a little extra spending money — just for making the trip you make anyway!
