PICKUP Raises $1.9M For On Demand Delivery Service

Dallas-based PICKUP, the on-demand delivery startup which harnesses veterans and firefighters with pickup trucks to help deliver furniture, appliances, and other bulky items, has raised $1.9M in a funding round. PICKUP said the funding came from Albert Cantu, the former President of pest control company Terminix. PICKUP currently offers up its services in Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Houston. The company's service provides upfront pricing on pickup and delivery of those items after users enter a pickup and delivery address. Pickup previously announced a seed funding in 2015.
