POCKITSHIP APP LAUNCH Don Tito, Arlington, Va. | PHOTOS BY BEN DROZ HEAVY LIFTING Area tech startup PockitShip celebrated the debut of a new app dedicated to moving heavy stuff from here to there. At its lively launch party, the only heavy lifting required involved spicy margaritas and frosted cupcakes topped with crunchy bacon. PockitShip founders Garrett O’Shea and Steve Senkus conceived the idea of an on-demand pickup and delivery company specializing in the transport of heavy items greater than 50 pounds during a backyard barbeque in 2014. “People are tired of finding something great on Craigslist and then having to rent a trailer or search for a friend with a pickup truck,” O’Shea said. “We’re changing all of that so it’s just a matter of a few clicks to ship something heavy or get it delivered.”
