IMO we need to break it in a few independent but cooperating decentralized systems;

A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.

If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional decentralized services like;

Marketplaces.
Passenger transportation services.
Food delivery.
Probably many more.
