Flexi hours and generous income with Lalamove

By Special to The Nation

 

 

Hong Kong based on-demand delivery app Lalamove is offering a better life to more than 17,000 drivers in Bangkok with flexible working hours, full-time and supplementary income, job independence, and the freedom to be their own bosses, choosing when and where to work, for how long and how often.

 

With employment opportunities that bring financial and lifestyle benefits, the philosophy that is accelerating Lalamove towards success in the city is that everyone matters. From drivers to customers, the ethos is to take care and improve the lives of all in a professional, considerate and ethical way.

 

Freelance interior designer, Bawornchai Woramechakanon, has been earning a minimum of Bt1,000 per day with Lalamove since becoming a driver seven months ago. Without a steady income as a freelancer, he now brings home up to Bt25,000 a month making deliveries.

 

“Driving with Lalamove has lifted the financial burden of paying for my house and car and I’ve actually been able to save too! The flexi-time means I can fit driving around my freelance projects and I can combine deliveries with appointments close by too so I don’t have any travel costs for meetings either. In terms of actual lifestyle, I now have more time to spend with my family, including my mother, which is really important to me. It is so refreshing to work with a company like Lalamove that believes in work freedom, is generous and takes good care of its workers.”

 

Tatma Suman is also working as a full-time Lalamove driver, totting up the same level of salary as Bawornchai. “When I started out with Lalamove about a year and a half ago, I have to say I wasn’t in the best situation. I had mounting debts, which was really stressful, and limited job opportunities, as well as kids to take care of. My life has really been transformed, I have nearly cleared what I owe and work in a job area that is often only given to men. Perhaps most importantly is the fact that it allows for the reality that family life isn’t always predictable by giving me the power to manage my time to fit with my any other life demands. The money is good too and what I also like is being out of an office driving for Lalamove as well as being in the driving seat of my own life, working at a job I really enjoy,” she says.

 

Happy drivers equal satisfied customers too and since launching in Hong Kong in 2014, Lalamove has provided a 24-hour professional door-to-door delivery service via its user-friendly app and website with a fleet of motorcycle couriers, cars and pick-up trucks. Other services include a pay-on-delivery and purchase service and practical help from drivers’ mates to move delivery items too.

 

Drivers are paid on a job-basis, which they can accept immediately, enabling them to plan ahead, communicate with customers and organise the delivery jobs themselves.

Nice, see the same start everywhere. Sure that history repeats.

 

The wages will go down soon because of the competion (other drivers)

Among their many freedoms drivers also enjoy freedom from benefits, stable income, opportunities for advancement, and job security.

Not all degenerates are brits lol

And not all Brits are degenerates!

 

PS I am one myself. Though I admit to some degenerate capacities they don't relate to the partly stereotypical - but with grains of truth - British antipathy toward wealth, business success and endeavour.
