Pay the truck. SkipYard is this category.
LoadYard
Furniture, timber, gas, water. Trucks send a price. You pay the truck.
Load Board — post the cargo (move, hardware, 20 lb gas, tanker). Nearby trucks and dealers bid a cash price. You pick. Pay them. Bid fee leaves their prepaid balance.
We never take cargo, gas, or water money. The truck or dealer is paid by you.

Phase 1 — Problem discovery
Wheels already answer the same WhatsApp blast. Four apps for gas, water, timber, and a fridge is four CACs for one truck owner.
WhatsApp group test
Dawn produce and ‘who have a canter / gas / water truck / somebody to move this fridge’.
Evidence of the gap
- Truck owners already do all four jobs from one phone.
- Gas-only and water-only apps are seasonal brands on the same wheels.
Facebook has yesterday’s truck. WhatsApp has no written bid. Produce dawn groups taught the shape — cargo is the same board.
Current solutions and limits
| What people use | Strength | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| inDrive | People know bidding | Private cars, takes the fare |
| Dawn WhatsApp | Real loads | No frozen bid |
| Four cargo apps | Look tidy | The canter owner will not top up four wallets |
Technology enablers

Phase 2 — Expert lenses
Einstein — first principles
A load is volume + a cash bid + a named truck. Gas and water are SKUs, not companies.
Jobs — simplicity
Post the load. See three bids. Pay the truck.
Csikszentmihalyi — flow
One board at dawn or when the fridge dies.
Lennon — radical creativity
The island’s informal haulage gets a public bid without a wallet.
