Company Overview
HaulR is a technology platform revolutionizing last-mile delivery and on-demand transportation through AI-powered multi-stop route optimization. Our platform connects customers with independent drivers for packages of any size, furniture moves, food delivery, and passenger rides — the only marketplace competing across all four service verticals simultaneously.
Mission: To create sustainable livelihoods for gig workers while providing customers with affordable, efficient delivery services.
The Problem
The gig economy is broken. Drivers waste 30-40% of their time driving empty between jobs, earning only $15-20 per hour after expenses—below minimum wage in most markets. This leads to massive driver churn, poor service quality, and an unsustainable business model for both platforms and workers.
Our Solution
HaulR eliminates empty drives through proprietary AI-powered multi-stop routing. We batch 3-5 deliveries in the same geographic area, ensuring drivers are always moving toward the next pickup or delivery. This increases driver utilization from 60% to over 90%, enabling earnings of $40-60 per hour—2-3x more than traditional single-stop platforms.
By solving the core inefficiency problem, we create sustainable driver livelihoods, reduce customer costs through operational efficiency, and build a profitable, scalable marketplace.
Market Opportunity
The total addressable market spans $624 billion across package delivery ($490B), food delivery ($54B), moving/haul ($40B), and passenger ride-sharing ($40B+). With the launch of Book a Ride, HaulR now competes in every major on-demand service category. With 8+ million gig workers in the US and growing demand across all service types, we are positioned to capture meaningful market share by solving the industry's fundamental profitability problem — drivers can now batch a delivery, a haul, and a ride in one AI-optimized route.
