The short answer
Lugg uses a metered transport model. WasteMatch Transport is quoted as one total before you book: a $49 base fee, $2 per driving mile, and a set load-tier fee, with no clock running on the labor.

WasteMatch vs. Lugg, side by side
One quoted total for the trip: a $49 base fee, $2 per driving mile, and fixed load-tier fees ($25 light load, $55 medium load, $95 heavy load). No per-minute billing.
Base fare by vehicle size, plus per-mile charges, plus per-minute labor billing - the total depends on how long the job runs.
Enter pickup and drop-off, pick your load size, see the full price, and book. Trips over 60 miles get a custom quote instead of an instant price.
On-demand or scheduled booking through the app, with the final fare calculated from the completed job.
Every hauler is background-checked and carries commercial general liability insurance, verified before approval - not after.
Movers ('Luggers') are vetted by the platform and dispatched to your job.
Same-day and next-day transport across metro Atlanta, dispatched by text as soon as you book.
On-demand dispatch, typically within a short window, in the metros they serve.
Atlanta haulers with trucks and trailers, dispatched to you - the same vetted network that handles our junk removal jobs.
A dispatched network of movers with vehicles sized by tier.
Your card is only authorized at booking and charged once a pro accepts. The quoted total is the total - no time-based surprises at drop-off.
Charged on completion based on the metered fare for the job.
Why per-minute labor makes a move hard to budget
This comparison is specifically about transport - moving something from point A to point B - not general junk removal. Lugg is a moving company, and the model it uses is a metered one: a base fare set by vehicle size, plus mileage, plus labor billed by the minute. It's a fair way to price a move, but it means the number you're quoted going in isn't the number you pay coming out. A slow elevator, a tight staircase, or a delay at the drop-off all show up on the bill.
WasteMatch Transport is quoted as a whole trip instead. The price is a $49 base service fee, $2 per driving mile calculated from real routing (not a zip-code estimate), and a flat load-tier fee for how much you're moving - $25 for a light load, $55 for medium, $95 for heavy. Stairs, when they apply, are shown as their own line before you book. Nothing is billed by the minute.
Trips beyond 60 miles are never instant-booked - those route to a custom quote so the price is still a real, agreed number rather than a meter. And the same background-checked, insured Atlanta haulers who handle our junk removal jobs handle transport, so the vetting standard doesn't change with the service.
