Ms. Kanyanat Chai-ngam, a Lalamove driver partner from Thailand, shared: “Compared to my previous full-time job, now, I have more flexibility in both work and life, which means I can spend more quality time with my family and that brings me happiness every single day. Being a partner with Lalamove allows me to earn additional income. It helps me manage my family’s expenses more easily and gives me greater financial freedom.”

To further celebrate their driver partners, Lalamove announced their upcoming "Heroes Behind the Wheel" campaign. This initiative compiles inspiring success stories from driver partners across all markets, highlighting how Lalamove positively impacts their communities. Through authentic sharing of experiences, they aim to showcase the invaluable contributions of their driver partners and express their deep appreciation for their hard work and dedication.

Mr. Ben Lin, Managing Director of Lalamove Thailand, shared, “At the heart of every Lalamove delivery are our driver partners fulfilling orders, powering the growth of SMEs and shaping communities. Their dedication does more than moving goods; it moves lives forward, enabling families to thrive and personal ambitions to take flight. As Lalamove continues to expand its service offerings, we remain focused on enhancing the experience for our driver partners. We are dedicated to providing them with the platform and support they need to succeed, empowering them to realize both their personal and professional aspirations.”

Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, announced findings of its global survey revealing that over 75% of driver partners are adapting between traditional sectors and the platform economy, showcasing the platform’s role in unlocking new career opportunities. Findings reveal how Lalamove’s flexible model is enabling driver partners to achieve greater work-life balance, pursue personal goals, and provide for their loved ones in new and meaningful ways.

The survey garnered nearly 9,000 responses from different markets globally, highlighting the company’s commitment to actively engaging with its driver partner community and their experiences within the platform. As flexible, app-based earning opportunities become a defining trend across global markets, this study serves as a tool for understanding the backgrounds and preferences of Lalamove’s driver partners.

The platform economy has emerged as a dominant trend across markets, reshaping traditional employment models and offering individuals unprecedented flexibility and diverse income streams. Notably, these individuals transitioned from diverse professional backgrounds. In Thailand, it was found that 35% of Lalamove’s driver partners previously worked as office workers, 19% came from the logistics or transportation sector. This reflects a growing trend where platform-based work is becoming a new option for many former office workers and those seeking flexibility and freedom in managing their time and income.

Lalamove’s partnership with drivers addresses a growing global shift toward adaptable work, combining accessible opportunities with unparalleled scheduling freedom. Recent data underscores this appeal: 65% of driver partners cite flexibility as their primary motivator, while 47% leverage the platform’s open scheduling to balance income generation with personal and family commitments. By removing rigid hourly requirements and empowering drivers to design their workdays around personal demands, Lalamove fills delivery gaps while reimagining the modern workforce.

Recent survey data found that 63% of driver partners use Lalamove to supplement their main income, a reflection of how this additional source of income helps people achieve financial stability while also enhancing their standards of living. This opportunity extends beyond individual benefits; with 63% of drivers being married and two-thirds of them with children. The flexibility of Lalamove’s platform allows driver partners to more easily run errands, manage school drop-offs, and handle family upkeep alongside their work commitments. These motivations underscore how Lalamove empowers driver partners to enhance their personal and their families’ lives.
