Vernacular transport

This would be another company based mostly on a website and a good informatin gathering/processing program. The setup would be as follows: anyone can put in an order to ship something by a given date. The program then compares all possible transportation offers along this route and finds the lowest final price possible, collecting perhaps a 5% commission in the process. The advantage would be that since transport companies at the moment all compete with each other, they often have more freight than they can move immediately or travel without moving their maximum capacity of goods. Sharing information and contracts between them would save everyone money. Trustworthy individuals could also become involved. For example, to ship an item weighing even a few pounds overseas is quite expensive. International travelers often have extra weight allowance in their luggage that they do not use. Paying such people to carry items along routes they are taking anyway would further streamline transportation.
