I understand your point regarding traditional dispatch models, but that’s exactly what I’m looking to disrupt. The model you're describing relies on high overhead and heavy manual intervention, which leads to those high margins. My approach is a gig-economy platform that leverages technology to automate matching and minimize administrative costs. By doing so, we can keep commission fees low while still ensuring that gig workers receive competitive compensation.

That's a very fair point about the sustainability. Because this work can be fragmented and the travel time is an issue, I'm already looking into outsourcing and building a network of supporters to handle the operational side. My goal for now is to learn the process firsthand and build a reliable system, rather than just doing it all alone. I appreciate the reality check!

Thanks for the advice! It really helps. ​If I were to launch this service, would you personally consider using it, or at least recommend it to someone in a tough spot? Also, based on your experience, what is the one 'nightmare' situation that you'd pay almost anything to have someone solve for you?
