Systems and methods are provided that allow vehicles to participate in a cargo marketplace. The vehicle may use their cargo space to transport items for other users. The vehicle may initiate a cargo discovery mode that may allow the vehicle to provide information about how much cargo space it currently has. This information may be provided to the system, which may also receive requests from users for vehicles that are capable of transporting certain items. The discovery mode may be automatically initiated based on a geofence or may be initiated through the driver of the vehicle using a mobile device application. The vehicle may be matched to users requesting transport of items based on the size of the cargo space of the vehicle and the size of the items that are requested to be transported.
